What each brand's own pages say (5 of 12 brands checked; the rest: see their sites).

| Brand | App or account | When days start | Refunds | Top-ups |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inbox eSIM (ours) | None: no app and no account | When the eSIM first connects to a network in a covered country | Unused and never installed: refund to the card within 30 days, less the card fee (no card fee within 14 days in the EU and UK) | Yes, on the same eSIM, from the order page |

The pages do not say whether sign-up is needed. | Not checked by us | Full refund for an unactivated eSIM within 30 days, to the original method; instant-activation plans are not refundable. | Yes, where available: buy a top-up in your account on the app or website. |
