Policies compared

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

ID verification

esim0: Not confirmed yet

Sim Local: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

esim0: Refund within 7 days of purchase if the eSIM cannot activate due to a fault on their side, advertised coverage is unavailable, the same plan was bought twice, or the QR code was not delivered within 24 hours. No refund once the eSIM has been activated or used, or for device incompatibility or changed travel plans.

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

esim0: Validity starts at the first connection to the network (Terms §6); an unused eSIM stays installable for 180 days after 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

esim0: Not confirmed yet

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

esim0: Top-ups from the dashboard for eligible eSIMs only; a different destination or an expired plan needs a new eSIM.

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.
