Refund policy

Sim Local: Full refund within 14 days if the eSIM has not been activated, no questions asked; failed activations caused by a technical issue are refunded even outside that window.

TripoSIM: Full refund if the eSIM hasn't been installed/activated, requested within 30 days of purchase, or there was a technical/provisioning issue or billing error on TripoSIM's end. No refund once activated (data used), after expiry, for an incompatible/locked device, for poor local coverage, or for unused leftover data. Request via [email protected] (24-48h review); approved refunds post in 5-10 business days.

Validity starts

Sim Local: Validity trigger varies by network operator - some start counting when the eSIM is installed, others only on first connection at your destination; check the specific plan for which applies.

TripoSIM: Validity countdown starts on first data use, not at purchase or installation -- you can install weeks ahead without losing any time. Unused data does not roll over once the validity period ends.

Fair-use limit

Sim Local: Unlimited plans include up to 10GB per day of full-speed data; consistently exceeding 10GB per day may trigger the Fair Use Policy and plan suspension, at the discretion of the network operator (no fixed throttle speed is disclosed).

TripoSIM: Unlimited plans give 1GB/day of full-speed data (2–5GB/day on 'Plus' plans), then slow to about 512 kbps (1 Mbps on Plus; 256–384 kbps in Japan, South Korea and China) until the 24-hour reset.

Top-ups & rollover

Sim Local: Top-up ability and method depend on the network operator (for example the My3, EE, or Lycamobile apps or sites), accessed via Sim Local My eSIM account area; a few operators do not support top-ups at all.

TripoSIM: Available on plans tagged "Top-up" -- added instantly from the TripoSIM dashboard. Not every plan supports it; if unavailable, buy a new eSIM for the same destination instead.
