Refund policy

LightSim: 14-day refund window from date of purchase; LightSim reviews requests within 24 hours. Available for technical inability to deliver the service, activation failures, device incompatibility, duplicate/incorrect charges, or an accidental purchase that was never activated/used. Not available once the plan has been used, has expired, or its disclosed usage/validity/fair-use limits have been reached.

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

LightSim: Plan validity starts only when you activate the eSIM at your destination, not at the time of 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

LightSim: Selected plans are a fixed high-speed data allowance per day (shown per plan) rather than a fixed total; hotspot/tethering sharing is unlimited (no separate cap or speed limit) on every plan.

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

LightSim: Top up your existing plan directly in the app in seconds - no need to reinstall the eSIM.

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).
