Refund policy

NXTL: Purchases are generally final once the eSIM is delivered; duplicate payments and non-delivery are refunded, and NXTL advertises a connectivity guarantee — if support can't get you connected in a supported destination, you get a refund.

Yesim: Refunds within 30 days of purchase only if the plan/top-up hasn't been activated, used or expired (installing the eSIM profile counts as activation); approved refunds go to the original payment method, but amounts of €10 or less are credited as Ycoins.

Validity starts

NXTL: NXTL is pay-as-you-go with no bundle expiry - purchased balance never expires and carries over to future trips instead of counting down from a fixed validity period.

Yesim: You select a desired activation time when purchasing a plan in the app -- validity is not automatically triggered at purchase.

Fair-use limit

NXTL: Not confirmed yet

Yesim: Yesim itself does not enforce a Fair Usage Policy on its Unlimited plans, but some of its partner network providers may apply their own FUP as part of their own terms, per Yesim's Help Center.

Top-ups & rollover

NXTL: Balance top-ups are managed entirely from your account at nxtlsim.com, no app or profile reinstall needed, and credit the moment payment clears.

Yesim: Additional data can be bought at any time from the Yesim app or website, added to the same eSIM.

Lost device / reinstalling

NXTL: NXTL's setup guide says not to delete an installed eSIM unless support tells you to, and deleted profiles aren't refundable per its Terms -- there's no self-service reinstall option, so contact support directly.

Yesim: Yesim eSIM profiles use a one-time activation code -- don't remove the profile or rescan the QR code, as that can wipe your settings; if lost or it fails to install, contact Yesim support for a new QR code.

Billing currency

NXTL: Checkout defaults to USD but a currency switcher lets you view and pay in EUR or GBP; your own card issuer may still apply a foreign-transaction fee.

Yesim: Based on the pre-selected currency on the account. Yesim accepts EUR, AUD, CAD, PLN, GBP, USD
