Refund policy

Airalo: Self-service refund request from your account (My eSIMs > Package History > Request Refund) for wrong purchase, changed plans, installation issues, or a non-working eSIM — expired or fully-used eSIMs aren't eligible. Wrong-purchase/changed-plans refunds go to Airmoney (their in-app credit) only; installation-issue/not-working refunds can go to Airmoney or your original payment method, taking 7-10 business days (up to 30 depending on your bank).

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

Airalo: Validity starts either when the eSIM connects to the destination network or at the moment of installation, depending on the specific plan — check 'Additional Information > Activation Policy' on the plan page before buying to see which applies.

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

Airalo: Unlimited plans default to a 3GB-per-day full-speed allowance before throttling to 1 Mbps for the rest of that 24-hour period (counted from activation, not purchase); a different daily threshold is stated on the specific plan's page when it applies instead of the 3GB default.

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

Airalo: Only plans marked 'rechargeable' (checkable under Additional Information before buying) can be topped up, via the My eSIMs > Top Up option in the app — a non-rechargeable eSIM or one that changed carriers requires buying a new eSIM instead.

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).
