Refund policy

Yaalo: Refunds within 30 days for coverage failures preventing installation, unresolvable Yaalo-caused technical issues with no data used, or incorrect charges; installed or expired plans are non-refundable.

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

Yaalo: Plan validity begins only when the eSIM connects to a mobile network at the destination, so it can be bought and installed early without losing days.

Yesim: You select a desired activation time when purchasing a plan in the app -- validity is not automatically triggered at purchase.

Fair-use limit

Yaalo: Unlimited plans are throttled after the daily full-speed data allowance is used, per Yaalo Terms of Service; the exact GB threshold and reduced speed are not publicly disclosed.

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

Yaalo: Add more data or extend validity directly from the Yaalo app or account dashboard, no eSIM reinstall needed, and top-ups apply immediately.

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

Lost device / reinstalling

Yaalo: Not confirmed yet

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

Yaalo: All checkout transactions are processed in US Dollars (USD) only, per Yaalo Terms of Service.

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