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).

TropiTrade: If the eSIM doesn't work for a technical reason, they first repair or replace it, otherwise give a full refund (report within 30 days of purchase); installed/activated eSIMs count as used, and used data or data left after validity isn't refunded.

Validity starts

esimgenius: Validity starts at first network connection, not at purchase. An installed-but-never-activated eSIM is held for 90 days by their supplier before the QR can expire.

TropiTrade: Validity starts on the first connection to a supporting network in the destination country, not at installation; an unactivated eSIM can be activated for up to 1 year after 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.

TropiTrade: Unlimited plans give 1GB at full speed every 24 hours, then 1.25 Mbps until the next day (the Curaçao local-number day pass allows 20GB a day); fixed-GB plans have no daily cap.
