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.

Orbit Mobile: A refund is possible within 30 days of purchase or during plan validity if the eSIM is unactivated, not downloaded, or if the phone is incompatible. A full refund also applies if the plan fails to work due to technical issues. Installed or used eSIMs are non-refundable

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).

Orbit Mobile: The plan starts automatically once you arrive in the destination and connect to a local network, and must be activated within six months of purchase or it expires.

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).

Orbit Mobile: No fair-use cap

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).

Orbit Mobile: New plans can be added to the same installed eSIM with no reinstall; a plan for the same country or region kicks in automatically once the current one runs out or expires.

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.

Orbit Mobile: Reinstalling or transferring your eSIM to a new device is completely possible by rescanning your original QR code [orbitmobile.com], provided you delete the profile from your old phone first [orbitmobile.com].

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.

Orbit Mobile: USD.
