Refund policy

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.

Skyalo: Refunds and cancellations are handled case-by-case via support — eligibility depends on whether the eSIM was already installed or used; contact support with your order number.

Validity starts

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.

Skyalo: Validity starts either on eSIM installation or on first connection to a supported network, depending on the plan — check the specific plan's activation trigger before installing early.

Fair-use limit

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.

Skyalo: Daily unlimited plans give a set volume per day at full speed, then unlimited data at a reduced per-plan speed, resetting every 24 hours; other unlimited plans may have speed reduced under Fair Use after heavy traffic.

Top-ups & rollover

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).

Skyalo: Many plans support top-ups: buy a top-up plan for the same country or region and the data is added to your existing eSIM profile (each plan shows Top-up Available/Not available).
