Refund policy

AirSims: 100% refund on unactivated eSIMs requested within 180 days of purchase, back to the original payment method; activated eSIMs are refunded only case by case.

Yesim: Refunds within 30 days of purchase only if the plan/top-up hasn't been activated, used or expired (installing the eSIM profile counts as activation); approved refunds go to the original payment method, but amounts of €10 or less are credited as Ycoins.

Validity starts

AirSims: Validity starts on the eSIM's first connection at the destination (often on landing or crossing the border), not at purchase.

Yesim: You select a desired activation time when purchasing a plan in the app -- validity is not automatically triggered at purchase.

Fair-use limit

AirSims: Unlimited day-pass plans include a daily high-speed allowance (500MB-2GB depending on country) before throttling to 128Kbps-3Mbps; resets at midnight local time.

Yesim: Yesim itself does not enforce a Fair Usage Policy on its Unlimited plans, but some of its partner network providers may apply their own FUP as part of their own terms, per Yesim's Help Center.

Top-ups & rollover

AirSims: Self-serve automated top-ups are available 24/7 via a web portal; manual top-ups are handled during business hours.

Yesim: Additional data can be bought at any time from the Yesim app or website, added to the same eSIM.

Lost device / reinstalling

AirSims: AirSims eSIMs can be rescanned/reinstalled on the same device as needed, but the QR code only works on one device -- if you lose the activation email, check spam or contact AirSims support.

Yesim: Yesim eSIM profiles use a one-time activation code -- don't remove the profile or rescan the QR code, as that can wipe your settings; if lost or it fails to install, contact Yesim support for a new QR code.
