ID verification

SparkRoam: Not required

Yatelo: Not required

Refund policy

SparkRoam: Full refund if the eSIM is unused/uninstalled, a verified technical failure occurs, or the QR/activation details never arrive within 2 hours. Used/activated eSIMs are not refundable. Incorrect-purchase requests on an unused eSIM get Spark Roam Wallet credit instead of cash (full credit 0-7 days, voucher credit up to 1 year).

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

SparkRoam: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network, not at the moment of purchase.

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

Fair-use limit

SparkRoam: Fixed-data plans have no fair-use cap. Unlimited plans throttle to a stated speed after full-speed use (confirmed real per-plan values: "Up to 10 Mbps" on India/Turkey/Taiwan, fully unthrottled on Japan) — see each plan's own details.

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

SparkRoam: Top-up is available from the SparkRoam customer Dashboard on the large majority of plans; a plan's own details page states when top-up isn't offered for it.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

SparkRoam: The QR code can be re-displayed or re-downloaded anytime from the customer Dashboard if the eSIM profile is deleted from the device.

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