ID verification

esimgenius: Not confirmed yet

Gigapanda: Not required

Refund policy

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).

Gigapanda: No refunds for buyer error (wrong destination, incompatible/locked device). Customer-initiated cancellation before activation: refunded minus a 5% payment-gateway fee + $5 processing fee. Activates on first use; no changes without 48h notice. Colombia/Argentina buyers get statutory withdrawal rights before install/activation.

Validity starts

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.

Gigapanda: Activates on first data connection after installing the eSIM. Validity ends when data runs out or the plan's duration ends; an unused eSIM is deleted from their systems after 6 months of inactivity.

Fair-use limit

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.

Gigapanda: Unlimited plans are subject to fair use: after the daily high-speed allowance, speed is reduced for the rest of that day. Several fixed-GB plans also throttle (not cut off) after their allowance — stated per plan.

Top-ups & rollover

esimgenius: Not confirmed yet

Gigapanda: Not offered — every plan is a one-time purchase with no top-up option (confirmed false on every plan in their feed).
