Can I Get a Refund from eSIMfo?

We understand that travel plans can be unpredictable or that mistakes can happen during the excitement of travel preparations. If you accidentally purchased a plan for the wrong country or if your destination has changed, here is how we can help you below.

Common Reasons for Incorrect eSIM Purchases

It is easy to make a mistake when choosing a data package. Our users often find themselves in the following situations:

  • Country name confusion: Choosing a country with a similar name (for example, Austria instead of Australia).
  • Departure point vs. destination: Accidentally purchasing a package for your own country instead of the country you will be traveling to.
  • Regional vs. local eSIM: Purchasing a single-country eSIM when a regional plan would be more suitable for your multi-stop travel itinerary.

What Can I Do If I Have the Wrong eSIM Card?

1. Request a Refund

If you haven't used your eSIM yet, you can apply for a refund request within minutes by connecting to our customer service.

  • Refund options: You can choose to receive your refund as eSIMfo Balance or as a credit to your original payment method.
  • Processing time: While balance additions are processed instantly, refunds made to the original payment method (card, etc.) usually take a few business days depending on the bank.

Note: In order for the refund process to be carried out, the data package must be unused.

2. Share Your eSIM with a Friend

If you haven't installed your eSIM yet, you can share it with someone else. Simply send them the installation QR code you received within the app after the purchase. As long as it has not been installed, it can be transferred to any compatible device.

How to share your QR code:

  1. Enter the eSIMfo app and select the "My eSIMs" tab.
  2. Find the relevant eSIM, go to its details, and select the "Share" option.
  3. You can share it by sending the QR code via email, messaging services, or through your device's "Quick Share" function.
