Refund policy

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).

Roamify: Unused/unactivated eSIM purchases are eligible for review within 7 calendar days of purchase (must not be activated, installed, or consumed). Approved refunds are issued within 3 business days; banks/card networks may take a further 5-10 business days to post funds.

Validity starts

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.

Roamify: Service begins immediately once the eSIM is downloaded and its data plan activated — validity starts on activation, not at purchase.

Fair-use limit

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.

Roamify: Unlimited plans are subject to a stated Fair Use Policy (preventing fraud/abuse), but no numeric high-speed cap or throttle speed is published — Roamify reserves the right to suspend/throttle without a stated threshold.

Top-ups & rollover

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.

Roamify: Top-up is available in-app for supported eSIMs (not all — the app itself states when a plan can't be topped up), up until 2 hours before the plan expires.

Lost device / reinstalling

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

Roamify: No self-serve QR redownload found — contact support (email or live chat) to have a lost/deleted QR code resent.

Billing currency

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

Roamify: Catalog prices are quoted in USD (and 30+ display currencies); the checkout's own charge currency isn't confirmed.
