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.

Rufly: Refund on request if the eSIM has not been installed or used; generally non-refundable once activated and data has been used. If a plan fails because of a fault on their side that they cannot resolve, a replacement or a fair refund. Refunds go to the original payment method.

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).

Rufly: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network.

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).

Rufly: Every plan is unlimited: 500 MB a day at full speed (up to 4G/LTE), then 5 Mbps for the rest of that day; after the trip allowance (30 GB on 7-day, 45 GB on 15-day, 70 GB on 30-day plans) 512 Kbps for the remaining days. Never cut off.

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).

Rufly: No top-ups — every plan is unlimited.

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.

Rufly: Yes, the eSIM can be reissued if a device is lost or the profile is deleted.

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.

Rufly: USD, GBP, EUR or AUD, depending on what the customer prefers at checkout.
