Refund Policy
Last updated: July 15, 2026
This Refund Policy explains when an order placed with MollySIM may be cancelled, refunded, partially refunded, replaced, or declined for refund. MollySIM sells digital eSIM products, physical SIM cards, carrier-related telecom products, activation services, top-ups, vouchers, and related mobile connectivity services. Because many of these products are digital, time-sensitive, carrier-issued, or non-reversible after delivery, refund eligibility depends on the product type, order status, delivery status, activation status, usage status, and the reason for the refund request. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order. By placing an order on MollySIM, you agree to this Refund Policy, our Terms of Service, and any product-specific terms shown on the product page, checkout page, order confirmation page, or activation instructions.
1. Summary of Our Refund Principles
Mobile network communications are immediate provisioning services. Once a physical SIM card is opened/inserted for activation, or an eSIM QR code is scanned/downloaded for activation, system resource allocation with the carrier is completed, and no cancellations, returns, refunds, or adjustments of any kind are supported.
We try to be fair and reasonable with refund requests. However, some products cannot be refunded once they have been delivered, activated, installed, scanned, used, shipped, topped up, or assigned to a customer.
In general:
- Orders may be cancelled before fulfillment.
- eSIM orders are usually not refundable after the QR code, activation code, or eSIM profile has been delivered, viewed, installed, activated, scanned, or used.
- Physical SIM card orders may be refundable before shipment, but are usually not refundable after shipment unless the card is defective, lost before delivery, or we are unable to provide a reasonable solution.
- Top-ups, vouchers, activation codes, carrier credits, and telecom services are usually non-refundable once delivered, redeemed, applied, activated, or used.
- Shipping fees, payment processing fees, carrier fees, and supplier costs may be non-refundable.
- We may offer a replacement, troubleshooting support, alternative plan, store credit, or partial refund instead of a full refund where appropriate.
Submitting a refund request does not guarantee approval.
2. Refund & Cancellation Rules (eSIM & Physical SIM)
This section outlines the rules for customer-initiated refund requests that are NOT due to MollySIM's fault or verified product defects. Below are the refund and cancellation rules:
💳 Non-Seller-Fault Refunds (eSIM & Physical Card)
For refunds requested due to customer-side reasons (e.g., change of mind, buying the wrong package/country, duplicate orders, finding device incompatibility after purchase, etc.), the refund amount will be subject to a deduction of the non-refundable third-party processing fee (~4% for Alipay/WeChat Pay and ~5% for PayPal/Credit Cards/Stripe).
📦 Unshipped Physical SIM Orders
If a physical SIM card has not been packaged or shipped, a full cancellation is allowed, but the same payment processing fees (4% - 5%) will be deducted from the refund.
❌ Opened, Downloaded or Activated Products
Due to the nature of cellular products, physical SIM cards that have been detached from the carrier card, or eSIMs where the QR code has been downloaded, scanned, manually configured, or used to generate roaming data, are strictly non-refundable and non-returnable.
3. Refund Request Window
Customers may submit a refund request within 30 days of the purchase date or plan expiration.
This 30-day period is a request window only. It does not mean that every order is refundable for 30 days.
Refund eligibility is determined by:
- Product type
- Order status
- Fulfillment status
- Delivery status
- Activation status
- Usage status
- Shipping status
- Supplier or carrier records
- Customer communication history
- Evidence provided by the customer
- Applicable laws and mandatory consumer rights
Approved refunds are usually processed within 5–10 business days after approval. The actual time for the funds to appear in your account depends on your bank, card issuer, payment provider, or payment method.
4. Product Categories
For refund purposes, MollySIM products are generally divided into the following categories.
4.1 eSIM Products
eSIM products include digital eSIM profiles, QR codes, activation codes, installation instructions, data plans, voice/SMS plans, roaming plans, and other digital mobile connectivity services.
Because eSIMs are digital products and may become usable immediately after delivery, refund eligibility is limited once the eSIM has been delivered, viewed, installed, activated, scanned, or used.
4.2 Physical SIM Cards
Physical SIM cards include plastic SIM cards, prepaid SIM cards, travel SIM cards, carrier SIM cards, and other physical telecom products shipped to the customer.
Refund eligibility depends on whether the order has been shipped, delivered, opened, activated, damaged, returned, or used.
4.3 Top-ups, Vouchers, Carrier Credits, and Recharge Products
Top-ups, vouchers, carrier credits, recharge products, phone number services, and similar products are generally non-refundable once delivered, redeemed, applied to an account, activated, or used.
4.4 Bundled Products
Some products may include a combination of digital service, physical SIM card, activation service, carrier credit, phone number access, roaming service, or shipping.
Refunds for bundled products may be partial only. Non-refundable components may be deducted from the refund amount.
5. Eligible Refund Situations
You may be eligible for a full or partial refund in the following situations.
5.1 Order Not Yet Fulfilled
If your order has not been fulfilled, delivered, shipped, assigned, activated, or processed with our supplier or carrier, we may cancel the order and issue a refund.
5.2 Duplicate Order
If you accidentally placed duplicate orders and only one order was delivered, activated, shipped, or used, we may refund the unused duplicate order.
If both orders were delivered, activated, shipped, used, or assigned, a full refund may not be available.
5.3 Wrong Product Purchased Before Fulfillment
If you purchased the wrong product and contact us before the product is fulfilled, delivered, shipped, activated, or used, we may cancel the order and issue a refund.
Once the product has been delivered, activated, shipped, used, or assigned, refund eligibility may be limited.
5.4 Product Cannot Be Delivered
If we are unable to deliver the product or provide the service, and no suitable replacement is available, we may issue a full refund.
5.5 Confirmed Product Defect
If the product is confirmed to be defective due to an issue caused by MollySIM, our supplier, or the carrier, and we are unable to provide a working replacement, alternative product, troubleshooting solution, or reasonable workaround, we may issue a full or partial refund.
5.6 Physical SIM Lost Before Delivery
If a physical SIM card is confirmed lost before delivery by the shipping carrier, we may offer a replacement or refund.
5.7 Incorrect Fulfillment by MollySIM
If we delivered the wrong product, wrong plan, wrong validity, wrong destination coverage, or wrong product type due to an error by MollySIM, we will try to correct the issue by replacement, exchange, store credit, partial refund, or full refund depending on the situation.
6. Non-Refundable Situations
Unless required by applicable law, refunds are generally not available in the following situations.
6.1 eSIM Already Delivered, Viewed, Installed, Activated, Scanned, or Used
eSIM orders are generally non-refundable once any of the following has occurred:
- The eSIM QR code has been delivered
- The activation code has been delivered
- The eSIM profile has been made available
- The customer has viewed or accessed the eSIM details
- The QR code has been scanned
- The eSIM has been installed
- The eSIM has been activated
- The eSIM has connected to a network
- The eSIM has used data, voice, SMS, roaming, or any carrier service
- The eSIM has been assigned to the customer by the supplier or carrier
💡 UK & EU Digital Content Compliance Note: According to UK and EU consumer protection laws (Consumer Contracts Regulations), once digital content (such as an eSIM) has been downloaded, delivered, or viewed, it is deemed that you have explicitly agreed to start the service immediately and automatically waived your 14-day cooling-off period (right to cancel and refund). This is confirmed at checkout prior to purchase.
6.2 Customer Device Is Incompatible
Refunds are generally not available if the issue is caused by the customer’s device, including but not limited to:
- Device does not support eSIM
- Device is carrier-locked
- Device has regional restrictions
- Device software is outdated
- Device does not support required network bands
- Device does not support roaming or APN configuration
- Customer deleted the eSIM before troubleshooting
- Customer changed device after installation
- Customer attempted to install the eSIM on an unsupported device
Customers are responsible for confirming device compatibility prior to purchase.
⚠️ Device Incompatibility Compromise Refund Option (Low Dispute Protection): To safeguard transactional experience and minimize payment disputes (chargebacks), if your device is carrier-locked or discovered to be eSIM incompatible after purchase, provided that carrier records verify the eSIM data usage is strictly 0 bytes (entirely unused), we may process a partial refund after deducting a 10% payment gateway fee and administrative processing surcharge. Once any data has been consumed (> 0 bytes), no refund will be issued.
6.3 Customer Purchased the Wrong Product
Refunds are generally not available after fulfillment if the customer selected the wrong:
- Destination
- Country or region
- Data amount
- Validity period
- Product type
- SIM type
- eSIM instead of physical SIM
- Physical SIM instead of eSIM
- Plan with or without voice/SMS
- Plan with or without phone number
- Plan with or without roaming support
Please review the product description carefully before checkout.
6.4 Customer Changed Their Mind
Refunds are generally not available if the customer changes their mind after the product has been delivered, activated, shipped, assigned, or used.
6.5 Failure to Read Product Information
Refunds are generally not available if the issue arises because the customer did not read or understand:
- Product description
- Coverage details
- Activation instructions
- Compatibility requirements
- Important notes
- Validity period
- Speed policy
- Fair usage policy
- Roaming limitations
- Voice/SMS availability
- Phone number availability
- Country or region limitations
- Shipping information
- Checkout currency information
6.6 Network Conditions Outside Our Control
Refunds are generally not available for issues caused by network or environmental conditions outside MollySIM’s direct control, including but not limited to:
- Weak local signal
- Temporary carrier outage
- Carrier congestion
- Building or indoor signal blockage
- Remote area coverage limitations
- Local roaming restrictions
- Local government restrictions
- Device band limitations
- Incorrect APN settings
- Incorrect roaming settings
- Customer location not supported by the selected plan

- Network speed variation
We may still assist with troubleshooting, replacement, or alternative solutions where possible.
6.7 Third-Party Verification or SMS Issues
Some customers purchase SIM or eSIM products for account registration, SMS verification, banking, platform verification, app login, or receiving one-time passwords.
MollySIM does not guarantee that any third-party app, website, bank, exchange, social media platform, payment service, government service, or online platform will accept, recognize, or deliver SMS or calls to a particular SIM, eSIM, number, carrier, or country code.
Refunds are generally not available if:
- A third-party platform refuses the number
- A third-party platform does not send verification codes
- A bank, exchange, app, or website blocks the number
- The number was previously used, recycled, or rejected by a third-party service
- SMS delivery is blocked by the sender, platform, carrier, or anti-fraud system
- The customer purchased the product for a specific third-party verification use case that is not expressly guaranteed by MollySIM in writing
6.8 Physical SIM Already Shipped
Physical SIM card orders are generally not refundable after shipment unless:
- The SIM card is confirmed defective
- The order is lost before delivery
- We shipped the wrong product
- Applicable law requires otherwise
Shipping fees are usually non-refundable once the order has been shipped.
6.9 Incorrect Shipping Information

- Wrong phone number
- Customer not available for delivery
- Customer refused delivery
- Customs issue caused by customer information

If a package is returned to us, we may offer reshipment at the customer’s cost or a partial refund after deducting shipping, handling, payment, supplier, and restocking costs.
6.10 Top-ups, Vouchers, Credits, and Recharges
Top-ups, vouchers, recharge products, carrier credits, balance additions, and similar products are generally non-refundable once delivered, redeemed, applied, assigned, or used.
6.11 Promotional, Discounted, or Special Orders
Orders purchased with coupons, promotional discounts, affiliate discounts, special campaigns, or limited-time offers may be eligible for refund only based on the actual amount paid.

- Unauthorized use
- Account sharing abuse
- Multiple failed payment attempts

- False claims
- Manipulated screenshots

MollySIM reserves the right to cancel orders, restrict accounts, refuse refunds, or refuse future service in such cases.
6.13 Telecom Operator Policy Changes
Because our services involve third-party telecom operators, network service providers, and their partners, relevant service policies, roaming rules, network coverage, usage restrictions, and account management policies may change due to carrier business adjustments, regulatory requirements, or security policies.
If service is restricted, suspended, terminated, or becomes partially unavailable due to policy adjustments, service limitations, network changes, account audits, or other factors beyond our platform's control initiated by telecom operators or relevant third-party providers, such circumstances do not constitute a product quality defect of our platform and are strictly non-refundable.
Our platform will assist users within our capability to troubleshoot issues, provide technical support, and help seek alternative solutions where feasible, but we cannot guarantee the continuity of third-party telecom operator services or that their policies will remain unchanged.
Purchasing this service indicates that the user understands and accepts that telecom services depend on third-party operators whose policies and service status are subject to change.
7. eSIM Activation and Troubleshooting Requirements
If you experience an eSIM issue, please contact us before deleting the eSIM from your device.
Deleting an eSIM may make troubleshooting, reinstallation, replacement, or verification impossible.
Before requesting a refund for an eSIM issue, you may be asked to provide:
- Order number
- Device model
- Device screenshot showing eSIM status
- Error message screenshot
- Network selection screenshot
- APN settings screenshot
- Roaming settings screenshot
- Location country or region
- Date and time of the issue
- Whether the eSIM was installed, activated, or used
- Any carrier/network name shown on the device
We may ask you to perform reasonable troubleshooting steps, including but not limited to:
- Restarting the device
- Enabling data roaming
- Selecting the correct eSIM line
- Checking APN settings
- Manually selecting a network
- Updating device software
- Moving to an area with stronger signal
- Waiting for carrier activation
- Reinstalling or replacing the eSIM where possible
Failure to cooperate with reasonable troubleshooting may limit refund eligibility.
8. Physical SIM Return Requirements
If a return is approved for a physical SIM card, the SIM card must generally be:
- Unused
- Unactivated
- Undamaged
- Unopened where applicable
- Returned with original packaging where applicable
- Returned within the time period we specify
- Returned using a trackable shipping method if requested
The customer may be responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is caused by our error or a confirmed product defect.
We may deduct from the refund:
- Original shipping fees
- Return shipping fees
- Handling fees
- Payment processing fees
- Supplier costs
- Carrier costs
- Restocking costs
- Any reduction in value caused by use, damage, activation, or mishandling
9. Partial Refunds
MollySIM may issue a partial refund instead of a full refund when appropriate.
Partial refunds may apply when:
- Part of the product or service has been used
- Part of the order has been fulfilled
- A digital product has been delivered but not used
- A physical product has been shipped but not activated
- A replacement or alternative solution has been provided
- A bundled order contains refundable and non-refundable components
- Shipping, payment, supplier, or carrier costs have already been incurred
- The issue affects only part of the service
The refund amount will be determined at MollySIM’s reasonable discretion based on the circumstances and available records.
10. Replacements, Exchanges, and Store Credit
In many cases, a replacement, exchange, alternative plan, troubleshooting solution, or store credit may be more appropriate than a cash refund.
MollySIM may offer:
- Replacement eSIM
- Alternative plan
- Store credit
- Partial refund
- Physical SIM reshipment
- Manual activation support
- Technical troubleshooting
- Supplier or carrier escalation
If a customer accepts a replacement, exchange, store credit, or alternative solution, the original order may no longer be eligible for a cash refund.
11. Refund Method
Approved refunds are normally returned to the original payment method.
We may not be able to refund to a different card, account, wallet, bank account, or payment method unless required by law or supported by our payment provider.
Currency conversion differences, bank fees, card issuer fees, foreign exchange fees, and payment provider fees are outside MollySIM’s control and may not be refundable.
If checkout was processed in a currency different from the displayed product reference currency, the refunded amount may be based on the actual amount paid at checkout.
Note on Payment Processing Fees: For any customer-initiated refund requests that are NOT due to MollySIM's fault or verified product quality/service defects (such as change of mind, accidental duplicate orders, wrong product selection, or device incompatibility discovered after purchase), the refunded amount will be subject to a deduction of the non-refundable third-party payment processing fees (approximately 4% for Alipay/WeChat Pay, and approximately 5% for PayPal/Credit Cards/Stripe). This is because our payment processors do not refund their transaction fees when a refund is issued.
12. Processing Time
After a refund is approved, MollySIM will normally process the refund within 5–10 business days.
After we process the refund, your bank, card issuer, payment provider, or wallet provider may require additional time to post the funds to your account.
MollySIM is not responsible for delays caused by banks, card issuers, payment processors, wallet providers, or payment networks.

- We do not guarantee that every bank, app, exchange, or platform will send verification codes.
- We do not guarantee that recycled or carrier-issued numbers will be accepted by all third-party services.

19. Errors, Pricing Mistakes, and Product Availability
We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, omissions, pricing mistakes, product availability issues, or technical issues at any time.
If an order is affected by a clear pricing error, product error, stock issue, supplier issue, or technical issue, we may cancel the order and issue a refund.
20. Mandatory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this Refund Policy is intended to limit any mandatory consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
Where applicable law gives you rights that are stronger than this policy, those mandatory rights will apply.
Where permitted by law, this policy will apply to the maximum extent possible.
