Refund policy

TripoSIM: Full refund if the eSIM hasn't been installed/activated, requested within 30 days of purchase, or there was a technical/provisioning issue or billing error on TripoSIM's end. No refund once activated (data used), after expiry, for an incompatible/locked device, for poor local coverage, or for unused leftover data. Request via [email protected] (24-48h review); approved refunds post in 5-10 business days.

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

TripoSIM: Validity countdown starts on first data use, not at purchase or installation -- you can install weeks ahead without losing any time. Unused data does not roll over once the validity period ends.

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

Fair-use limit

TripoSIM: Unlimited plans give 1GB/day of full-speed data (2–5GB/day on 'Plus' plans), then slow to about 512 kbps (1 Mbps on Plus; 256–384 kbps in Japan, South Korea and China) until the 24-hour reset.

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

TripoSIM: Available on plans tagged "Top-up" -- added instantly from the TripoSIM dashboard. Not every plan supports it; if unavailable, buy a new eSIM for the same destination instead.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

TripoSIM: Each QR code is single-use on one device by design. If you accidentally delete it, contact [email protected] -- a reinstall is offered case by case, not guaranteed.

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

TripoSIM: Prices shown in USD by default; also accepts EUR, GBP, AED and SAR payment currencies. No recurring subscriptions -- every purchase is a one-time charge.

Yatelo: United States Dollars (USD)
