Refund policy

eSIM4: 30-day refund window from purchase if the eSIM has not been activated; also refundable/exchangeable if it can't be installed due to a technical problem on eSIM4's side. Once installed, considered used and non-refundable.

Giga.tel: Full refund only if the eSIM hasn't been installed and no data was used - contact within 5 days of purchase with your order number. If a technical issue (won't download, won't connect) can't be resolved, a refund/partial refund may still be given.

Validity starts

eSIM4: The validity period starts when the eSIM connects to any supported network(s), not at purchase.

Giga.tel: Standard eSIM plans: validity starts when the plan is activated, not at purchase (confirmed at checkout). A separate 'Connectivity' plan type instead starts immediately after purchase.

Fair-use limit

eSIM4: Not confirmed yet

Giga.tel: Unlimited plans carry a fair-use policy - each plan's own page shows its Daily Allowance and the post-threshold speed; there's no single sitewide GB/day figure or throttle speed.

Top-ups & rollover

eSIM4: Set per plan — most plan listings state "Rechargeable online with no expiry" (see each plan's own note); not every plan mentions rechargeability.

Giga.tel: Add a top-up or a new plan to the same reusable eSIM at any time without reinstalling - just keep the eSIM profile on your device rather than deleting it.

Lost device / reinstalling

eSIM4: An eSIM can only be installed once — reinstalling shows "no longer valid/available"; eSIMs cannot be reinstalled or regenerated once removed.

Giga.tel: If a technical/connectivity issue arises, support will troubleshoot or issue a replacement when eligible. Exception: the 'Connectivity' plan type can't be replaced if not installed within 24 hours of receiving the QR code.

Billing currency

eSIM4: Billed in USD (native USD pricing, Stripe checkout).

Giga.tel: Prices are shown in USD; Brazil-based customers are charged in Brazilian Reais at a locked exchange rate shown before payment, with no extra currency-conversion fee from Giga.tel.
