Refund policy

MeSIM: Activated or used eSIMs are non-refundable except where required by law, and incompatibility with an unsupported or locked device is generally not refunded. If an eSIM is not delivered or a fault is attributable to mesim or its partners, they may offer a replacement, credit or refund. Contact [email protected] before any payment dispute.

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

MeSIM: For almost all plans validity starts at the first data session in a supported country, not at purchase; most eSIMs should be activated within 30–60 days of purchase (each product page states the exact rule).

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

Fair-use limit

MeSIM: "Unlimited" or "high-speed" plans may be subject to fair-use or speed-management policies imposed by network partners (Terms §5); daily-allowance plans state the high-speed amount per day.

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

MeSIM: Dependant on plan

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

Lost device / reinstalling

MeSIM: Most QR codes install only once and deleting an installed eSIM may prevent reinstallation; some networks allow a one-time reissue if the eSIM hasn't been used, not guaranteed.

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