Refund policy

Saily: Full refund if the eSIM has not been installed or the data plan was never activated; after activation, refunds only while more than 99% of the data balance remains unused (subscriptions: within 14 days).

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

Saily: Saily plans must be installed before your trip; the validity/data countdown starts when the eSIM activates (first connection at your destination), not at purchase.

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

Fair-use limit

Saily: Unlimited plans include a Fair Use Policy: full-speed data resets every 24 hours (5GB standard, as low as 3GB in some countries), then speed is reduced until the next reset.

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

Saily: Existing Saily eSIMs can be topped up (including an Auto Top-Up option) directly in the Saily app without reinstalling, per their Help Center.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

Saily: Saily eSIMs can be reinstalled anytime at no extra cost directly from the app, as long as you're logged into the same account -- no reinstall-count limit is published.

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

Saily: Checkout is charged in USD; a currency-conversion fee may apply if your card's home currency isn't USD, per Saily's Help Center.

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