Refund policy

ConnectMeGuru: Full refund only if the eSIM was never scanned/installed/activated, within 30 days of purchase -- goes only to the ConnectMeGuru wallet, never the original payment method. Plans that auto-activate on purchase are never refundable; top-ups are never refundable once applied.

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

ConnectMeGuru: The QR/profile stays valid to scan for up to 180 days after purchase; the purchased duration only starts counting once the eSIM is actually scanned and connects, not from purchase.

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

ConnectMeGuru: Daily "unlimited-style" plans carry a stated fair-use cap, shown right in the plan name (e.g. "1GB/Day FUP1Mbps") — full speed up to that daily allowance, then throttled to 1 Mbps for the rest of the day.

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

ConnectMeGuru: Supported via their own "Smart Stacking": a top-up queues behind the current plan and only starts once its data/time is exhausted (delivered over-the-air, no new QR) -- not every package is eligible.

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

ConnectMeGuru: Can be reinstalled on the same device with the same QR if accidentally deleted while the plan is still active, but cannot be transferred to a different device -- a lost phone means the eSIM access is gone for good.

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

Billing currency

ConnectMeGuru: USD only, per their own feed's currency field -- no separate multi-currency checkout statement found on-site.

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