ID verification

Billion Connect: Required for some countries (passport/ID)

Yatelo: Not required

Refund policy

Billion Connect: Refundable before activation; once activated/used, refund rights end; third-party partner purchases are excluded from refunds.

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

Billion Connect: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a supported network at your destination (some start on installation, as the product page states); activate within 90 days of purchase; a day = 24 hours from activation.

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

Fair-use limit

Billion Connect: Set per plan on the product page: most plans drop to a reduced speed (typically 128–384 kbps) after the high-speed allowance, daily or total, instead of cutting off; a few plans stop at the limit.

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

Billion Connect: Standard eSIMs can't be topped up; buy a new plan when data runs out. eSIM Air supports top-ups anytime without reinstalling.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

Billion Connect: Most eSIMs can be reinstalled or moved to a new phone by rescanning the original QR code; plans marked non-reinstallable on the product page are lost once deleted.

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