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.

TropiTrade: If the eSIM doesn't work for a technical reason, they first repair or replace it, otherwise give a full refund (report within 30 days of purchase); installed/activated eSIMs count as used, and used data or data left after validity isn't refunded.

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).

TropiTrade: Validity starts on the first connection to a supporting network in the destination country, not at installation; an unactivated eSIM can be activated for up to 1 year after 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).

TropiTrade: Unlimited plans give 1GB at full speed every 24 hours, then 1.25 Mbps until the next day (the Curaçao local-number day pass allows 20GB a day); fixed-GB plans have no daily 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).

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.
