Policies compared

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

ID verification

Roamless: Not confirmed yet

Sim Local: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

Roamless: Refundable only for device incompatibility (no eSIM slot, or carrier-locked) -- not for connectivity issues or used credit/data. 5-10 business days to the original payment method.

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

Roamless: The 30-day validity starts with the first KB of usage at the destination -- not linked to activation; the eSIM profile itself never expires until used.

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

Roamless: 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

Roamless: Auto Top-Up triggers when your balance drops below $5 USD (card/Google Pay/Apple Pay); manual top-up always available. FLEX credits never expire.

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.
