Refund policy

Jetpac: Installed eSIMs are non-refundable; refund or replacement within 30 days if the eSIM can't be installed due to a technical problem, plus a money-back guarantee for device incompatibility or local-network connection trouble.

MicroEsim: Conditional refund: full/partial if your device is eSIM-incompatible, the eSIM never connects (full minus a small admin fee), or it works only intermittently (partial, prorated). No refund once the plan has expired unused, once installed on a device (no transfers), for a wrong checkout email, or a simple change of mind. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method, up to 30 business days.

Validity starts

Jetpac: The eSIM can be activated any time within 3 months of purchase; the validity countdown itself starts only once you connect to a network overseas, not at purchase.

MicroEsim: Validity starts when you activate data roaming on the eSIM (connect to the network), not when you first install/add it to the device.

Fair-use limit

Jetpac: Jetpac states there is no Fair Usage Policy or roaming data cap - the data you buy is the data you get, including unlimited hotspot/tethering on Unlimited packs.

MicroEsim: Unlimited plans: 'true unlimited' plans may be throttled for the rest of the day once usage typically exceeds 10GB in a single day (resets daily); plans with a high-speed cap drop to 128kbps once that allowance is used.

Top-ups & rollover

Jetpac: Set up the Jetpac eSIM once and top up with a new data plan via the Jetpac Global app each time you travel, without reinstalling.

MicroEsim: No — an existing eSIM's data allowance can't be renewed or topped up; buy a new eSIM for more data (per their FAQ).
