Policies compared

Confirmed from each provider's own site — see the trust card on each provider page for the verification date.

ID verification

Giga.tel: Not confirmed yet

MeSIM: Not required

Refund policy

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.

MeSIM: Activated or used eSIMs are non-refundable except where required by law, and incompatibility with an unsupported or locked device is generally not refunded. If an eSIM is not delivered or a fault is attributable to mesim or its partners, they may offer a replacement, credit or refund. Contact [email protected] before any payment dispute.

Validity starts

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.

MeSIM: For almost all plans validity starts at the first data session in a supported country, not at purchase; most eSIMs should be activated within 30–60 days of purchase (each product page states the exact rule).

Fair-use limit

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.

MeSIM: "Unlimited" or "high-speed" plans may be subject to fair-use or speed-management policies imposed by network partners (Terms §5); daily-allowance plans state the high-speed amount per day.

Top-ups & rollover

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.

MeSIM: Dependant on plan
