ID verification

MicroEsim: Not confirmed yet

PikaSim: Not required

Refund policy

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.

PikaSim: Unused eSIMs (never installed or activated) are fully refundable. A non-functional eSIM that failed to connect, with only minimal data used on failed attempts, may be refunded after troubleshooting, reviewed by a human within 24-48 hours. Used eSIMs are not refundable.

Validity starts

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.

PikaSim: Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, not at purchase — buy ahead and install on WiFi at home without losing time.

Fair-use limit

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.

PikaSim: Unlimited Daily plans give a daily high-speed allowance (e.g. 1GB or 3GB); after it, speed drops to around 128kbps until the allowance resets 24 hours after first activation.

Top-ups & rollover

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).

PikaSim: Top up an existing eSIM anytime using just its eSIM number — no account or login needed.
