ID verification

esimgenius: Not required

HelloRoam: Not confirmed yet

Refund policy

esimgenius: Full refund only if the eSIM never activates in the destination country (install/connect failure, incompatible/carrier-locked phone, or the supplier under-delivers data). Wrong-destination purchases are case-by-case if reported within 24h, not guaranteed. Refunded via Stripe within 1 business day (banks take 5-10 more days).

HelloRoam: Full refund on an unactivated eSIM within 6 months of purchase (QR not scanned, no data used). Also covers device-compatibility issues and major service/connection failures (partial or full refund).

Validity starts

esimgenius: Validity starts at first network connection, not at purchase. An eSIM that has not been activated stays usable for up to 12 months after purchase.

HelloRoam: Plan days start only at the eSIM's first connection to a supported network in your destination — buying and installing it at home use no plan days.

Fair-use limit

esimgenius: Unlimited plans state no daily data caps or cutoffs from esimgenius itself, but local carrier partners may throttle/restrict on atypical usage as an anti-abuse measure -- no specific threshold stated.

HelloRoam: A fair-use policy applies to unlimited plans — HelloRoam may apply speed limits if usage is well above normal levels, to protect network quality for other users.

Top-ups & rollover

esimgenius: Every plan, including regional and global ones, tops up on the same eSIM within seconds: no new QR code, no reinstall. Top up from the app or the site.

HelloRoam: Top up an existing eSIM in the HelloRoam app (My eSIM > Top up): the new data joins what's left and the end date moves out on the same eSIM, no new QR code; expired eSIMs and some plans can't take a top-up.
