Refund policy

AeriSIM: Full or partial refund, or a replacement, if the eSIM can't be installed or used due to a fault on AeriSIM's or the carrier's side; incompatible or carrier-locked phones are refunded minus $2 or 10% (whichever is higher). No refund once installed, for changed plans, or after the activation window.

ByteSim: Full or partial refund for connection issues, depending on the situation; no cancellation fees and a money-back guarantee (ByteSIM FAQ). Full terms are on their Refunds Policy page.

Validity starts

AeriSIM: Validity starts once the eSIM connects to a supported network and begins using data; you can install before departure but keep it switched off. Some plans start on installation or a fixed date, as stated on the product page.

ByteSim: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a network at the destination; some start on a selected date, in the app or (e.g. the Giffgaff UK eSIM) from purchase, as stated on the product page. Installing early usually does not start the plan; some QR codes must be used within 180 days.

Fair-use limit

AeriSIM: Varies by plan and is listed on each product page: daily plans slow down after the daily high-speed allowance (e.g. Japan: 128 kbps, resets 0:00 UTC+8); some unlimited plans have a stated speed cap instead.

ByteSim: Unlimited plans may be subject to a local operator fair-use policy: heavy use in a short period can be temporarily slowed or deprioritised (1080p streaming still possible), lifted the following day. The per-plan speed policy is stated on each product page.

Top-ups & rollover

AeriSIM: Depends on the plan: check My eSIMs and the order details; if a top-up is not offered, buy another plan for the same destination.

ByteSim: No top-ups or extensions: data on an existing eSIM cannot be renewed; buy a new eSIM when you need more (ByteSIM FAQ: not supported due to the anonymous nature of their eSIM products).
