eSIM Return Policy

Data Only eSIMs. If the eSIM has been generated but you have not activated or used it — for example you bought the wrong destination — contact us and we will refund you, deducting only the payment transaction fee. We do not charge a restocking fee in this case. If the activation date has passed and the plan was never used, we can still refund you, less a 20% eSIM activation service fee calculated on the order total, because the plan has already been provisioned with our supplier.

If your eSIM includes voice or SMS, it cannot be refunded once the eSIM has been generated — the number and service are allocated to you at that point.

In addition, no eSIM can be refunded if:

  • close The eSIM profile has been deleted after installation
  • close The plan has been activated and used
  • close Your device is not eSIM compatible (despite confirmation during purchase)
  • close For Orange eSIMs: PIN not entered during setup, making QR code invalid
lightbulbGood news: An unused Data Only eSIM is refundable even after the QR code has been generated. Contact us and you pay only your payment provider's transaction fee — no restocking fee.
