Policies compared

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

ID verification

Global YO: Not required

RoamGo: Not required

Refund policy

Global YO: Full refund within 30 days for unused (not activated) eSIM. Purchases are generally non-refundable once the product is delivered, except where required by applicable consumer-protection law or app-store rules.

RoamGo: All sales are final once the eSIM is installed or activated. A refund or replacement is granted where the eSIM failed to activate because of a verified technical fault, after support was given a chance to troubleshoot. Requests must reach support within 30 days of purchase. No refunds for an incompatible or locked device, skipped install instructions, a deleted profile, data already used, or changed travel plans.

Validity starts

Global YO: A 1-day eSIM is valid for 24 hours from activation, not until midnight.

RoamGo: The validity period starts at the activation event named on each product page, and it genuinely differs per plan: some start on successful payment, others on installation, manual activation, or first connection to a supported network. Each plan page states which rule applies before you buy.

Fair-use limit

Global YO: -Basic Unlimited:1 GB/day of high-speed data - Premium Unlimited:2 GB/day of high-speed data. After that, speeds drop to about 512 kbps, but the plan stays unlimited and data keeps working.

RoamGo: Fixed-data plans are one bucket for the whole trip - no daily reset and no throttling until the bucket runs out. RoamGo also sells daily-allowance plans, which run at reduced speed after each day's high-speed cap; those are not listed here. Their Terms state that advertised speeds are theoretical maximums from the local carrier, not guaranteed throughput.

Top-ups & rollover

Global YO: Top up an active eSIM anytime from the "My eSIM" area.

RoamGo: Top-ups are per plan, not provider-wide: each plan page says "Top-ups available" or "No top-ups on this plan", and RoamGo state they make no promise where the carrier has not confirmed. Where a top-up applies it reuses the same eSIM and QR code with no reinstall, and is priced separately by the carrier. Some plans stay eligible for a limited grace period after expiry.
