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.

NXTL: Purchases are generally final once the eSIM is delivered; duplicate payments and non-delivery are refunded, and NXTL advertises a connectivity guarantee — if support can't get you connected in a supported destination, you get a refund.

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).

NXTL: NXTL is pay-as-you-go with no bundle expiry - purchased balance never expires and carries over to future trips instead of counting down from a fixed validity period.

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).

NXTL: Not confirmed yet

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).

NXTL: Balance top-ups are managed entirely from your account at nxtlsim.com, no app or profile reinstall needed, and credit the moment payment clears.

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.

NXTL: NXTL's setup guide says not to delete an installed eSIM unless support tells you to, and deleted profiles aren't refundable per its Terms -- there's no self-service reinstall option, so contact support directly.

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.

NXTL: Checkout defaults to USD but a currency switcher lets you view and pay in EUR or GBP; your own card issuer may still apply a foreign-transaction fee.
