Refunds and cancellations

When you can get a refund, and how to request one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a refund on my eSIM?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase, as long as the eSIM has not been installed or activated. Once an eSIM has been installed, activated, or had any data used, it can no longer be refunded. The full detail is in our refund policy.

How do I request a refund?

Email our support team with your order reference and a short description of the problem. We aim to respond within one business day, and if your eSIM is eligible we'll arrange the refund.

My eSIM is unused. How long do I have to cancel?

You have 14 days from the date of purchase to request a refund on an unused eSIM, meaning one that has never been installed or activated.

I've already installed or activated my eSIM. Can I still get a refund?

Once an eSIM has been installed or its plan has started, it can't be refunded, because the data has been issued to you. If it isn't working, contact our support team first, as most problems are quick settings fixes.

My eSIM didn't work. Can I get a refund?

Contact our support team before requesting a refund, as most connection problems are settings we can talk you through. If we can't get you online and the fault is on our side, we'll put it right.

How long does a refund take?

Approved refunds are processed to your original payment method within 14 days of being agreed, in pounds sterling for the amount you were charged. Your bank may then take a little longer to show it on your statement.

I bought the wrong plan or the wrong country. What can I do?

If the eSIM is unused, meaning not installed or activated, contact our support team within 14 days and we'll arrange a refund so you can buy the right plan. If it's already installed, it can't be refunded.

Why was my 14-day cancellation right waived at checkout?

Because your eSIM is delivered instantly as digital content, you agree at the checkout to waive the automatic 14-day cancellation right that applies to some online purchases. We still offer our own 14-day refund on unused eSIMs, which is set out in our refund policy.

My phone turned out to be incompatible or locked. Can I get a refund?

Checking that your phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible is the buyer's responsibility, and the requirements are set out before purchase, so incompatibility isn't normally covered. If the eSIM is completely unused, contact our support team and we'll see what we can do.

Can I cancel my order before it's delivered?

eSIMs are delivered instantly, so there's normally no gap in which to cancel before delivery. If the eSIM is unused, request a refund within 14 days instead.

Still need help?

If you can't find the answer here, email our support team with your order reference and we'll help. We aim to reply within one business day.
