ID verification

abesteSIM: Required for some countries (passport/ID)

Simsima: Not required

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.

Simsima: Full refund if the eSIM hasn't been installed/activated, there's a technical failure on Simsima's side, or the wrong plan was delivered — not available once installed and connected to a network.

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).

Simsima: Starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in the destination country, not at installation — you can install days or weeks ahead without losing validity.

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).

Simsima: No fair-use throttling on Unlimited plans — full speed for the entire validity period; only real network conditions may vary 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).

Simsima: Add more data anytime from your Simsima account without reinstalling the eSIM.

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.

Simsima: Free, unlimited eSIM profile reinstallation if the eSIM is accidentally 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.

Simsima: Charges in your local currency when supported (USD, AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY); otherwise standard bank FX rates/fees may apply.
