Policies compared

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

ID verification

eSIMGlobe: Not required

Sim Local: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

eSIMGlobe: Refunds within 14 days of purchase if the eSIM hasn't been activated or used; defective eSIMs get a replacement or full refund, processed within 10 business days.

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

eSIMGlobe: Some plans start immediately after eSIM installation, others only when the device connects to a supported network in the destination country; the rule is set per plan.

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

eSIMGlobe: Unlimited plans include a high-speed data allowance (commonly around 1GB) per cycle, after which speed may drop to as low as 512 Kbps until the next reset; exact allowance/reset/speed vary by plan and appear on the product page.

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

eSIMGlobe: Product pages flag 'Top Up Available: Yes' for supported plans, letting you add data to the existing eSIM without reinstalling; not every plan supports top-up.

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.
