ID verification

SparkRoam: 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.

SparkRoam: Full refund if the eSIM is unused/uninstalled, a verified technical failure occurs, or the QR/activation details never arrive within 2 hours. Used/activated eSIMs are not refundable. Incorrect-purchase requests on an unused eSIM get Spark Roam Wallet credit instead of cash (full credit 0-7 days, voucher credit up to 1 year).

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).

SparkRoam: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network, not at the moment of purchase.

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).

SparkRoam: Fixed-data plans have no fair-use cap. Unlimited plans throttle to a stated speed after full-speed use (confirmed real per-plan values: "Up to 10 Mbps" on India/Turkey/Taiwan, fully unthrottled on Japan) — see each plan's own details.

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).

SparkRoam: Top-up is available from the SparkRoam customer Dashboard on the large majority of plans; a plan's own details page states when top-up isn't offered for it.

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.

SparkRoam: The QR code can be re-displayed or re-downloaded anytime from the customer Dashboard if the eSIM profile is deleted from the device.

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.

SparkRoam: Prices shown here are the catalog's own real USD prices; SparkRoam's own checkout at sparkroam.com bills in GBP (£).
