Policies compared

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

ID verification

AirPlans: Not required

NXTL: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

AirPlans: Full refund within 30 days if the eSIM was never installed or activated, wasn't delivered, or had a verified unresolved technical failure; installed plans and wrong-destination purchases are non-refundable.

NXTL: Purchases are generally final once the eSIM is delivered; duplicate payments and non-delivery are refunded, and NXTL advertises a connectivity guarantee — if support can't get you connected in a supported destination, you get a refund.

Validity starts

AirPlans: On most plans validity begins the first time the eSIM connects to a supported network at the destination, not at purchase or install; AirPlans' Terms note some plans instead start on installation, as stated in each plan's terms.

NXTL: NXTL is pay-as-you-go with no bundle expiry - purchased balance never expires and carries over to future trips instead of counting down from a fixed validity period.

Fair-use limit

AirPlans: Unlimited plans come with a daily high-speed allowance (1GB, 2GB or 3GB per day depending on the plan), after which speed drops to a stated rate (512 Kbps to about 2 Mbps) until the next day. Both figures are published per plan in their feed and shown on each plan row here.

NXTL: Not confirmed yet

Top-ups & rollover

AirPlans: Existing eSIMs can be topped up with more data from the My eSIMs screen in the app, no reinstall needed.

NXTL: Balance top-ups are managed entirely from your account at nxtlsim.com, no app or profile reinstall needed, and credit the moment payment clears.
