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

ZenSim: 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.

ZenSim: Refunds are not available once the eSIM has been installed or activated, except for a technical failure verified by ZenSim. If a Travel eSIM cannot be used due to device incompatibility, a refund is issued only if it has not been installed/activated on a different device.

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.

ZenSim: Validity starts on activation, not purchase — the eSIM auto-activates the first time it connects to the destination network. Must be installed within 12 months of purchase or ZenSim may cancel the order.

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.

ZenSim: Unlimited plans include a fixed daily high-speed allowance (see each plan), then drop to a reduced speed for the rest of that 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.

ZenSim: Every Travel eSIM can be topped up from the ZenSim app — no need to buy a new eSIM.
