What is your refund policy for eSIMs?

Modified on Tue, 7 Oct at 5:34 PM

We want you to feel confident when buying from Orbit Mobile. This guide explains when you can request a refund, when refunds are not available, and what alternatives we can offer — updated to reflect our latest customer-first policy.


Key Points to Know

  • Refund requests should be made within 90 days of purchase or any time before activation while your plan remains valid.

  • Your eSIM plan is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase — perfect if you’re buying for a future trip.

  • Once an eSIM is installed or used, refunds are limited and assessed on a case-by-case basis.

  • If your plan was purchased with a discount, any refund is capped at the amount you actually paid (not the pre-discount price).


✅ When You Can Get a Refund

  • No usage (within 90 days or before activation): If you purchased a plan but haven’t activated or used it, you can request a full refund.

  • Incorrect plan purchase: If you accidentally bought the wrong plan and haven’t used it, we can exchange it for the correct one.

  • Technical issues (our fault): If you cannot install or use your eSIM due to a confirmed Orbit Mobile error, we will provide a refund or replacement.

  • Service or coverage issues: If your plan doesn’t perform as expected, we’ll review your case. We can transfer your plan, offer an alternative, or refund your purchase — whichever is fairest for you.


⚖️ Partial Refunds

  • If you have used 0–10% of your plan, we may provide a full or near-full refund.

  • If you have used 10–30%, we may issue a partial refund based on the data remaining.

  • If you have used over 30%, refunds are not available.


❌ When Refunds Are Not Available

  • Requests made after the plan’s validity period ends (12 months from purchase).

  • The eSIM has been installed and significantly used (over 30%).

  • There is evidence of misuse or abuse of Orbit Mobile services.

    Victim of card fraud or unauthorised payment? Please contact us — we’ll support you and handle these cases fairly (we typically refund the cardholder and work with the payment provider).


⚠️ Important Reminders

  • Check that your device is eSIM-compatible and unlocked before purchasing. If you’re unsure, our team can help you confirm.

  • Refunds are returned to your original payment method (Stripe, Apple Pay, or Google Pay).

  • Every refund, exchange, or credit request is reviewed individually in line with our Terms of Use — always fairly, and with customer experience in mind.


To request a refund, contact us at support@orbitmobile.com with your order number and a brief reason for the request.


We aim to be fair, flexible, and transparent. If you’re unsure whether you’re entitled to a refund, please reach out to our team and we’ll review your case individually.
