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.

shibaSIM: Contact support within 7 days of purchase if a provider-side technical fault prevents activation, or for a mistaken plan whose QR code has not been installed or used. Approved refunds return to the original payment method in 5–10 business days. No refund once activated or used.

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).

shibaSIM: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at the destination, unless the plan description states otherwise.

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).

shibaSIM: Daily plans: a fixed amount of high-speed data per day (0.5GB to 5GB depending on the plan), then data continues at reduced speed.

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).

shibaSIM: Not offered: no self-service top-ups; customers buy a new plan instead.

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.
