ID verification

Global YO: Not required

MicroEsim: Not confirmed yet

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.

MicroEsim: Conditional refund: full/partial if your device is eSIM-incompatible, the eSIM never connects (full minus a small admin fee), or it works only intermittently (partial, prorated). No refund once the plan has expired unused, once installed on a device (no transfers), for a wrong checkout email, or a simple change of mind. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method, up to 30 business days.

Validity starts

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

MicroEsim: Validity starts when you activate data roaming on the eSIM (connect to the network), not when you first install/add it to the device.

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.

MicroEsim: Unlimited plans: 'true unlimited' plans may be throttled for the rest of the day once usage typically exceeds 10GB in a single day (resets daily); plans with a high-speed cap drop to 128kbps once that allowance is used.

Top-ups & rollover

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

MicroEsim: No — an existing eSIM's data allowance can't be renewed or topped up; buy a new eSIM for more data (per their FAQ).
