Refund policy

eSIMo: No refunds for unused data, for an eSIM removed after installation, or for a package not activated because the install instructions were not followed.

Yesim: Refunds within 30 days of purchase only if the plan/top-up hasn't been activated, used or expired (installing the eSIM profile counts as activation); approved refunds go to the original payment method, but amounts of €10 or less are credited as Ycoins.

Validity starts

eSIMo: Starts with the first KB of data used in the destination country, not at purchase — expires when the data runs out or the validity period ends, whichever comes first.

Yesim: You select a desired activation time when purchasing a plan in the app -- validity is not automatically triggered at purchase.

Fair-use limit

eSIMo: Unlimited plans get a daily high-speed allowance (shown before purchase); after that, speed drops for the rest of the 24-hour period. Unused daily allowance does not roll over.

Yesim: Yesim itself does not enforce a Fair Usage Policy on its Unlimited plans, but some of its partner network providers may apply their own FUP as part of their own terms, per Yesim's Help Center.

Top-ups & rollover

eSIMo: Top-ups and plan extensions can be bought in the eSIMo app account and stack onto the same eSIM profile without scanning a new QR code.

Yesim: Additional data can be bought at any time from the Yesim app or website, added to the same eSIM.

Lost device / reinstalling

eSIMo: eSIMo's Terms of Use instruct customers not to delete/remove the eSIM after installation, warning that no credit or refund will be given if it's removed -- implying the profile isn't reissued once deleted.

Yesim: Yesim eSIM profiles use a one-time activation code -- don't remove the profile or rescan the QR code, as that can wipe your settings; if lost or it fails to install, contact Yesim support for a new QR code.

Billing currency

eSIMo: Charges in USD by default; other currencies shown for convenience only and may carry conversion fees from ESIMO, the payment provider, or your card issuer.

Yesim: Based on the pre-selected currency on the account. Yesim accepts EUR, AUD, CAD, PLN, GBP, USD
