Refund policy

Orbit Mobile: A refund is possible within 30 days of purchase or during plan validity if the eSIM is unactivated, not downloaded, or if the phone is incompatible. A full refund also applies if the plan fails to work due to technical issues. Installed or used eSIMs are non-refundable

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

Orbit Mobile: The plan starts automatically once you arrive in the destination and connect to a local network, and must be activated within six months of purchase or it expires.

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

Fair-use limit

Orbit Mobile: No fair-use cap

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

Orbit Mobile: New plans can be added to the same installed eSIM with no reinstall; a plan for the same country or region kicks in automatically once the current one runs out or expires.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

Orbit Mobile: Reinstalling or transferring your eSIM to a new device is completely possible by rescanning your original QR code [orbitmobile.com], provided you delete the profile from your old phone first [orbitmobile.com].

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.
