Refund policy

ByteSim: Full or partial refund for connection issues, depending on the situation; no cancellation fees and a money-back guarantee (ByteSIM FAQ). Full terms are on their Refunds Policy page.

esimgenius: Full refund only if the eSIM never activates in the destination country (install/connect failure, incompatible/carrier-locked phone, or the supplier under-delivers data). Wrong-destination purchases are case-by-case if reported within 24h, not guaranteed. Refunded via Stripe within 1 business day (banks take 5-10 more days).

Validity starts

ByteSim: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a network at the destination; some start on a selected date, in the app or (e.g. the Giffgaff UK eSIM) from purchase, as stated on the product page. Installing early usually does not start the plan; some QR codes must be used within 180 days.

esimgenius: Validity starts at first network connection, not at purchase. An installed-but-never-activated eSIM is held for 90 days by their supplier before the QR can expire.

Fair-use limit

ByteSim: Unlimited plans may be subject to a local operator fair-use policy: heavy use in a short period can be temporarily slowed or deprioritised (1080p streaming still possible), lifted the following day. The per-plan speed policy is stated on each product page.

esimgenius: Unlimited plans state no daily data caps or cutoffs from esimgenius itself, but local carrier partners may throttle/restrict on atypical usage as an anti-abuse measure -- no specific threshold stated.

Top-ups & rollover

ByteSim: No top-ups or extensions: data on an existing eSIM cannot be renewed; buy a new eSIM when you need more (ByteSIM FAQ: not supported due to the anonymous nature of their eSIM products).
