ID verification

Esimatic: Not required

Giga.tel: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

Esimatic: Refunds within 30 days of purchase, only when the eSIM can't be activated due to a technical problem on Esimatic's side after troubleshooting; an installed eSIM is considered used and non-refundable.

Giga.tel: Full refund only if the eSIM hasn't been installed and no data was used - contact within 5 days of purchase with your order number. If a technical issue (won't download, won't connect) can't be resolved, a refund/partial refund may still be given.

Validity starts

Esimatic: Validity starts when the eSIM auto-connects and uses its first 1KB of data at your destination, not at purchase; unused bundles expire 12 months after purchase.

Giga.tel: Standard eSIM plans: validity starts when the plan is activated, not at purchase (confirmed at checkout). A separate 'Connectivity' plan type instead starts immediately after purchase.

Fair-use limit

Esimatic: Day Plan: 1GB of fast 5G data every 24 hours then throttled to 1.25 Mbps; Day Plan+: 2GB fast data daily then throttled to 2 Mbps -- both stay unlimited overall, never fully cut off.

Giga.tel: Unlimited plans carry a fair-use policy - each plan's own page shows its Daily Allowance and the post-threshold speed; there's no single sitewide GB/day figure or throttle speed.

Top-ups & rollover

Esimatic: Top up by buying the same eSIM bundle again from the Esimatic shop on the existing eSIM; no reinstall needed.

Giga.tel: Add a top-up or a new plan to the same reusable eSIM at any time without reinstalling - just keep the eSIM profile on your device rather than deleting it.
