Refund policy

Simbye: Full refund for an eSIM not installed, activated or used if requested within 30 days of purchase; partial or full refund if it doesn't work because of Simbye or the network, even after installation. Applied top-ups are non-refundable.

Yatelo: Refunds only for issues on Yatelo's side, requested within 30 days of purchase and only for unused data; used data is non-refundable and approved refunds may carry processing fees.

Validity starts

Simbye: Plan validity (7–90 days) starts when the eSIM connects to a network at your destination; until then the eSIM stays valid for 180 days. Some plans, such as the US eSIM with a phone number, start at purchase.

Yatelo: Your plan only starts counting once you connect -- the countdown begins at first network connection, not purchase.

Fair-use limit

Simbye: Unlimited plans include 2GB of high-speed data per day, after which speeds are reduced until the next 24-hour cycle.

Yatelo: Fixed-data plans hard-cap at the purchased allowance. Standard unlimited plans feature a daily high-speed cap and throttle speeds once crossed; Truly Unlimited plans have no daily cap. Plan details for all options explicitly state these terms prior to purchase.

Top-ups & rollover

Simbye: Top up on the top-up page or in your account with your order number: buy a new data package and the same eSIM reactivates instantly, no reinstall needed.

Yatelo: Add more data or buy a new plan anytime within the app.

Lost device / reinstalling

Simbye: No transfer or reissue to another device: once installed and activated, the eSIM stays tied to that phone, and a new phone needs a new eSIM.

Yatelo: If you delete the eSIM or change phones, contact support and they help reinstall or replace the eSIM, depending on the plan.

Billing currency

Simbye: Charged in the currency shown at checkout: local currency in most European markets (EUR, GBP, CHF, PLN, SEK and others), USD everywhere else.

Yatelo: United States Dollars (USD)
