Refund policy

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.

MegaEsim: 100% money-back guarantee: ask within 6 months of purchase for any reason (installed, partly used or not) and get a full refund within 3-5 business days. Only exception: plans with a phone number are non-refundable. EU/EEA/UK buyers also keep the 14-day withdrawal right unless waived.

Validity starts

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.

MegaEsim: Validity starts on first network connection at the destination, not at purchase or installation — installing the eSIM before a trip doesn't start the clock.

Fair-use limit

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.

MegaEsim: Daily-cap "Unlimited" plans run at full speed up to their stated daily allowance, then throttle (per-plan capacityInfo, typically to 1 Mbps) until the next 24h reset.

Top-ups & rollover

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.

MegaEsim: Top up anytime from your MegaEsim account or app (My eSIMs → Top Up); extra data is added to the same eSIM with nothing to reinstall. A few plans, such as some daily unlimited plans, can't be topped up.

Lost device / reinstalling

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.

MegaEsim: Each QR code can normally only be installed once; if deleted, contact support and they re-issue a fresh QR code at no extra charge.

Billing currency

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.

MegaEsim: Prices are shown and charged in USD (confirmed via the site's own product schema); your card issuer may apply its own FX/foreign-transaction fee.
