Refund policy

AirSims: 100% refund on unactivated eSIMs requested within 180 days of purchase, back to the original payment method; activated eSIMs are refunded only case by case.

Sim Local: Full refund within 14 days if the eSIM has not been activated, no questions asked; failed activations caused by a technical issue are refunded even outside that window.

Validity starts

AirSims: Validity starts on the eSIM's first connection at the destination (often on landing or crossing the border), not at purchase.

Sim Local: Validity trigger varies by network operator - some start counting when the eSIM is installed, others only on first connection at your destination; check the specific plan for which applies.

Fair-use limit

AirSims: Unlimited day-pass plans include a daily high-speed allowance (500MB-2GB depending on country) before throttling to 128Kbps-3Mbps; resets at midnight local time.

Sim Local: Unlimited plans include up to 10GB per day of full-speed data; consistently exceeding 10GB per day may trigger the Fair Use Policy and plan suspension, at the discretion of the network operator (no fixed throttle speed is disclosed).

Top-ups & rollover

AirSims: Self-serve automated top-ups are available 24/7 via a web portal; manual top-ups are handled during business hours.

Sim Local: Top-up ability and method depend on the network operator (for example the My3, EE, or Lycamobile apps or sites), accessed via Sim Local My eSIM account area; a few operators do not support top-ups at all.
