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).

Zwitchy: 30-day money-back guarantee for unused, never-activated eSIMs; once installed, connected or any data used the plan is generally non-refundable, except a replacement or full refund if it fails due to Zwitchy's fault and support can't fix it.

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.

Zwitchy: Plan validity starts when the eSIM is first used (activated), 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.

Zwitchy: On Unlimited plans, each day includes a high-speed data allowance; once used, speed is reduced (to 1024 kbps on the checked plans) until it resets 24 hours after activation.

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.

Zwitchy: Top-ups available on every plan.

Lost device / reinstalling

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

Zwitchy: No reinstall: a deleted eSIM profile cannot be reinstalled and moving to another phone means a new eSIM; a lost QR email can be resent any time until the eSIM is installed.

Billing currency

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

Zwitchy: Prices shown and charged in USD by default; EUR and GBP are also selectable via the site's own currency switcher.
