ID verification

AirPlans: Not required

InternationalSIM: Not required

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.

InternationalSIM: 14-day money-back guarantee: full refund if the eSIM QR code has not been scanned or activated, processed to the original payment method in 3–5 business days.

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.

InternationalSIM: Smartstart: plans activate automatically on arrival in a covered destination, with the validity period starting then, not at purchase; unactivated plans expire automatically 6 months after purchase.

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.

InternationalSIM: Data services are subject to Fair Use Policies set by the local network carrier per InternationalSIM's terms, but no specific data threshold or throttled speed is disclosed.

Top-ups & rollover

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

InternationalSIM: Existing eSIMs and SIM cards can be recharged with more data through the InternationalSIM customer portal without needing a new eSIM.
