Refund policy

Telekonek: Refunds/replacement only for a technical problem on Telekonek's side that prevents the eSIM from installing or working — not for unused-but-working eSIMs, wrong country/region, carrier-locked devices, changed travel plans, or voice/SMS expectations (data-only plans). Requests must be made within 5 days of purchase; approved refunds return to the original payment method in 3-5 business 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

Telekonek: Activation is instant once you scan the QR code, but the plan's own validity/day countdown begins when the eSIM connects to a live network at your destination, not at the moment of 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

Telekonek: On metered (fixed-GB) plans, speed throttles to 1 Mbps after 3000MB is used in a day (2000MB/day on the North America bundle), resetting daily. Unlimited plans have their own daily high-speed cap shown per plan, commonly 2GB/day.

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

Telekonek: Existing Telekonek eSIMs can be topped up from your dashboard (or the order-hash link in guest-checkout confirmation emails) without rescanning a QR code — the new plan attaches to the same eSIM. Top-ups are region-locked to their destinations.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

Telekonek: Telekonek's terms end the service once the eSIM is deleted from the device; a replacement eSIM is offered only when it can't be installed or used because of a technical problem on Telekonek's side, requested within 5 days of purchase.

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

Telekonek: Telekonek bills exclusively in US Dollars — there is no multi-currency checkout option.

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