Refund policy

HelloRoam: Full refund on an unactivated eSIM within 6 months of purchase (QR not scanned, no data used). Also covers device-compatibility issues and major service/connection failures (partial or full refund).

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

HelloRoam: Plan days start only at the eSIM's first connection to a supported network in your destination — buying and installing it at home use no plan days.

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

HelloRoam: A fair-use policy applies to unlimited plans — HelloRoam may apply speed limits if usage is well above normal levels, to protect network quality for other users.

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

HelloRoam: Top up an existing eSIM in the HelloRoam app (My eSIM > Top up): the new data joins what's left and the end date moves out on the same eSIM, no new QR code; expired eSIMs and some plans can't take a 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.
