Refund policy

Sim Local: Full refund within 14 days if the eSIM has not been activated, no questions asked; failed activations caused by a technical issue are refunded even outside that window.

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

Sim Local: Validity trigger varies by network operator - some start counting when the eSIM is installed, others only on first connection at your destination; check the specific plan for which applies.

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

Sim Local: Unlimited plans include up to 10GB per day of full-speed data; consistently exceeding 10GB per day may trigger the Fair Use Policy and plan suspension, at the discretion of the network operator (no fixed throttle speed is disclosed).

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

Sim Local: Top-up ability and method depend on the network operator (for example the My3, EE, or Lycamobile apps or sites), accessed via Sim Local My eSIM account area; a few operators do not support top-ups at all.

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

Sim Local: Sim Local warns that deleting an eSIM before its validity period expires may make it impossible to redownload, so confirm the eSIM has expired before deleting it.

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

Sim Local: Checkout supports multiple currencies including USD, GBP and EUR with prices shown in your selected currency; no explicit conversion-fee disclosure was found.

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.
