ID verification

abesteSIM: Required for some countries (passport/ID)

AirSims: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

abesteSIM: Full/partial refund or replacement if the eSIM fails to install/activate/work due to a fault on abesteSIM's or the carrier's side, or works only intermittently. A 2.5 SGD or 10% (whichever is higher) processing fee applies for device-incompatibility/carrier-lock refunds. No refund for wrong purchases, an expired activation window, expired unused data, wrong checkout email, or once the eSIM has been installed.

AirSims: 100% refund on unactivated eSIMs requested within 180 days of purchase, back to the original payment method; activated eSIMs are refunded only case by case.

Validity starts

abesteSIM: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a supported network and begins using data; some instead use a fixed start date or activate on installation — stated per plan on its own product page (per their FAQ).

AirSims: Validity starts on the eSIM's first connection at the destination (often on landing or crossing the border), not at purchase.

Fair-use limit

abesteSIM: Some unlimited plans apply a fair-use policy after a high-speed threshold; others state a fixed speed cap (e.g. 5/10/20 Mbps) instead — varies per plan, check the product description (per their FAQ).

AirSims: Unlimited day-pass plans include a daily high-speed allowance (500MB-2GB depending on country) before throttling to 128Kbps-3Mbps; resets at midnight local time.

Top-ups & rollover

abesteSIM: No — abesteSIM does not currently support topping up an installed eSIM; buy a new plan once the existing allowance ends (per their FAQ).

AirSims: Self-serve automated top-ups are available 24/7 via a web portal; manual top-ups are handled during business hours.
