Refund policy

GigSky: SIMs and top-ups can't be returned once sold and unused data isn't refunded; a minimally used subscription plan (under 1GB) affected by a connectivity issue may be refunded at GigSky's discretion.

Yatelo: Refunds only for issues on Yatelo's side, requested within 30 days of purchase and only for unused data; used data is non-refundable and approved refunds may carry processing fees.

Validity starts

GigSky: Plans are turned on by the customer when ready to travel, not automatically at purchase, per GigSky's setup flow ('Activate When You Travel, Top Up Anytime').

Yatelo: Your plan only starts counting once you connect -- the countdown begins at first network connection, not purchase.

Fair-use limit

GigSky: On Unlimited plans, GigSky may reduce speed during a single day of very heavy use (e.g. video streaming); normal speed resumes the next day. No specific data threshold or throttled speed is disclosed.

Yatelo: Fixed-data plans hard-cap at the purchased allowance. Standard unlimited plans feature a daily high-speed cap and throttle speeds once crossed; Truly Unlimited plans have no daily cap. Plan details for all options explicitly state these terms prior to purchase.

Top-ups & rollover

GigSky: Eligible plans can be topped up anytime in the GigSky app (My Plans > Top Up), with the data added to the existing plan; not every plan supports top-ups and complimentary Visa plans can't be topped up.

Yatelo: Add more data or buy a new plan anytime within the app.

Lost device / reinstalling

GigSky: If you delete your GigSky eSIM you may be able to download a replacement through the GigSky app; if you can't reinstall it, contact GigSky Support.

Yatelo: If you delete the eSIM or change phones, contact support and they help reinstall or replace the eSIM, depending on the plan.

Billing currency

GigSky: You pay in the currency set in Profile Details — USD, CAD, EUR, GBP or JPY — and that is the checkout currency; crypto payments are processed in USD.

Yatelo: United States Dollars (USD)
