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.

Zwitchy: Automatic 30-day money-back guarantee: an unused, never-activated eSIM can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. If already activated, a refund can still be requested and is reviewed by their team within 24 hours.

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.

Zwitchy: Plan validity starts when the eSIM is first used (activated), not at purchase.

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.

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

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.

Zwitchy: Top-ups available on every plan.

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.
