Refund policy

Nomad: Refund requests must be made within 30 days of purchase: a plan not yet installed or activated may be fully refunded (to the card or as Nomad Points); after activation only a partial refund for verified technical failure. Unlimited plans and a few others are non-refundable.

Superalink: Refunds only if the eSIM has not been activated and no data has been used; QRIS purchases must be requested within 7 days of purchase.

Validity starts

Nomad: Validity starts only when the eSIM is activated, meaning first connection to a network or the automatic activation-window deadline - not at installation or purchase.

Superalink: Starts once the eSIM installs and connects to the local network at your destination — activation from home is possible, but Superalink recommends waiting until arrival; data isn't deducted until it connects there.

Fair-use limit

Nomad: Most Unlimited plans give 2 GB of high-speed data per day, then speed drops to about 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps (depending on the plan) for the rest of the day; the allowance resets every 24 hours from activation.

Superalink: On Unlimited plans, speed drops for the rest of the day once the daily high-speed allowance is used (no extra charge, resets the next day): 10GB/day to 5 Mbps, 5GB/day to 1 Mbps, 500MB-3GB/day to up to 384 Kbps.

Top-ups & rollover

Nomad: Add-ons can be purchased in the Nomad eSIM app or website (Manage, then Add more data) without reinstalling; not every plan supports add-ons and they cannot be bought from the UAE or India.

Superalink: Enter your eSIM's ICCID on Superalink's Top Up page (My Voucher) to add data or extend — no reinstall needed, though it only becomes available once the current package's validity ends or its data runs out.

Lost device / reinstalling

Nomad: A deleted eSIM can usually be reinstalled from the original QR code or manual details (support can resend them); some plans, such as Thailand Unlimited, cannot be reinstalled, and if reinstalling fails a refund may be given as Nomad Points.

Superalink: A deleted eSIM can be reactivated on the same device, but cannot be reissued for a different device, per Superalink's own FAQ.

Billing currency

Nomad: Checkout accepts major cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay with multi-currency billing; no specific conversion-fee disclosure was found on the payments help pages.

Superalink: USD is the primary payment currency; other currencies may be accepted depending on availability and payment method, with the transaction currency set at the time of purchase.
