Refund policy

abesteSIM: Full/partial refund or replacement if the eSIM fails to install/activate/work due to a fault on abesteSIM's or the carrier's side, or works only intermittently. A 2.5 SGD or 10% (whichever is higher) processing fee applies for device-incompatibility/carrier-lock refunds. No refund for wrong purchases, an expired activation window, expired unused data, wrong checkout email, or once the eSIM has been installed.

MeSIM: Activated or used eSIMs are non-refundable except where required by law, and incompatibility with an unsupported or locked device is generally not refunded. If an eSIM is not delivered or a fault is attributable to mesim or its partners, they may offer a replacement, credit or refund. Contact [email protected] before any payment dispute.

Validity starts

abesteSIM: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a supported network and begins using data; some instead use a fixed start date or activate on installation — stated per plan on its own product page (per their FAQ).

MeSIM: For almost all plans validity starts at the first data session in a supported country, not at purchase; most eSIMs should be activated within 30–60 days of purchase (each product page states the exact rule).

Fair-use limit

abesteSIM: Some unlimited plans apply a fair-use policy after a high-speed threshold; others state a fixed speed cap (e.g. 5/10/20 Mbps) instead — varies per plan, check the product description (per their FAQ).

MeSIM: "Unlimited" or "high-speed" plans may be subject to fair-use or speed-management policies imposed by network partners (Terms §5); daily-allowance plans state the high-speed amount per day.

Top-ups & rollover

abesteSIM: No — abesteSIM does not currently support topping up an installed eSIM; buy a new plan once the existing allowance ends (per their FAQ).

MeSIM: Dependant on plan

Lost device / reinstalling

abesteSIM: A lost/misplaced QR code can be resent by contacting support (email or live chat) before installation, when eligible. Once installed, an eSIM is bonded to that device and can't be transferred or reissued — contact support about a replacement rather than a reissue.

MeSIM: Most QR codes install only once and deleting an installed eSIM may prevent reinstallation; some networks allow a one-time reissue if the eSIM hasn't been used, not guaranteed.

Billing currency

abesteSIM: Users in Canada, Europe, the UK, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and the USA can pay in their local currencies; users in other regions are billed in SGD.

MeSIM: Prices are shown in the selected currency (USD default) at checkout.
