Can I Cancel My eSIM Order?

Because eSIM products are digital goods that are usually delivered quickly, cancellation options may be limited once the order has been processed or delivery has taken place.

Whether a cancellation request can be approved depends on the order status, delivery status, activation status, and the applicable terms.

Quick answer: If your eSIM has not been activated or fully processed yet, support may review available options. Once digital delivery has occurred, cancellation rights may be limited.

Important: Cancellation, refund, or replacement requests are reviewed according to activation status, delivery status, and our General Conditions.

When a Cancellation Request May Be Reviewed

1. Order Still Processing

If the order is still under payment review or processing, support may be able to review available options.

2. eSIM Not Activated Yet

If the eSIM has not been installed, scanned, or activated, support may assess the request based on order status.

3. Wrong Plan Purchased

If you purchased the wrong destination or data plan by mistake, contact support quickly before activation.
