Refund policy

BuyUKeSIM: Routine refunds aren't offered once the eSIM QR is delivered (standard for instant digital goods) - but technical delivery failures, duplicate payments, overpayments and confirmed payment errors are reviewed and fixed case by case via live chat or Telegram, TX hash required.

esimgenius: Full refund only if the eSIM never activates in the destination country (install/connect failure, incompatible/carrier-locked phone, or the supplier under-delivers data). Wrong-destination purchases are case-by-case if reported within 24h, not guaranteed. Refunded via Stripe within 1 business day (banks take 5-10 more days).

Validity starts

BuyUKeSIM: Shown per plan at checkout: validity starts on first network connection, not at purchase or QR delivery.

esimgenius: Validity starts at first network connection, not at purchase. An eSIM that has not been activated stays usable for up to 12 months after purchase.

Fair-use limit

BuyUKeSIM: Not confirmed yet

esimgenius: Unlimited plans state no daily data caps or cutoffs from esimgenius itself, but local carrier partners may throttle/restrict on atypical usage as an anti-abuse measure -- no specific threshold stated.

Top-ups & rollover

BuyUKeSIM: Add a data top-up to an already-installed eSIM from your order page (8-character Magic Code) - loads onto the same eSIM, same QR/ICCID, no reinstall, repeatable. Unused data doesn't roll over past the plan's own expiry.

esimgenius: Every plan, including regional and global ones, tops up on the same eSIM within seconds: no new QR code, no reinstall. Top up from the app or the site.

Lost device / reinstalling

BuyUKeSIM: QR codes are shown on-screen once and not re-sent by default. If access is lost to a genuine technical issue, contact live chat or Telegram with your payment TX hash - after verification, they'll resend once.

esimgenius: Just contact our support and they will replace it within 5 minutes.

Billing currency

BuyUKeSIM: Checkout is cryptocurrency only - prices are shown in USD and the exact crypto amount is calculated at a live exchange rate locked for a short window at checkout.

esimgenius: USD only, tax-inclusive, charged via Stripe -- no other currency option found at checkout.
