Refund policy

Always Mobile: 30-day refund policy from receiving the QR code, as long as the eSIM data plan is unused. Once installed and any data is consumed, the eSIM is non-refundable.

Yatelo: Refunds only for issues on Yatelo's side, requested within 30 days of purchase and only for unused data; used data is non-refundable and approved refunds may carry processing fees.

Validity starts

Always Mobile: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to the local network at the destination, not at purchase.

Yatelo: Your plan only starts counting once you connect -- the countdown begins at first network connection, not purchase.

Fair-use limit

Always Mobile: Fixed-GB plans have no daily cap. Daily Unlimited plans include a fixed full-speed GB allowance per day, then throttle to a reduced speed (per-plan text on the site states a range, typically 384-512 Kbps, or a specific Mbps figure) until the next 24-hour reset.

Yatelo: Fixed-data plans hard-cap at the purchased allowance. Standard unlimited plans feature a daily high-speed cap and throttle speeds once crossed; Truly Unlimited plans have no daily cap. Plan details for all options explicitly state these terms prior to purchase.

Top-ups & rollover

Always Mobile: Top-up availability is set per plan (most fixed-GB and some Unlimited plans can be topped up via the link in the QR-code email; Daily Unlimited plans generally cannot).

Yatelo: Add more data or buy a new plan anytime within the app.

Lost device / reinstalling

Always Mobile: The eSIM can be installed on one device only and re-scanned multiple times on that same device, but cannot be transferred to a different device.

Yatelo: If you delete the eSIM or change phones, contact support and they help reinstall or replace the eSIM, depending on the plan.
