Refund policy

Always Mobile: 30-day refund policy from receiving the QR code, as long as the eSIM data plan is unused. Once installed and any data is consumed, the eSIM is non-refundable.

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

Always Mobile: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to the local network at the destination, not at purchase.

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

Always Mobile: Fixed-GB plans have no daily cap. Daily Unlimited plans include a fixed full-speed GB allowance per day, then throttle to a reduced speed (per-plan text on the site states a range, typically 384-512 Kbps, or a specific Mbps figure) until the next 24-hour reset.

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

Always Mobile: Top-up availability is set per plan (most fixed-GB and some Unlimited plans can be topped up via the link in the QR-code email; Daily Unlimited plans generally cannot).

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).
