Service Description:

  • These Terms govern the sale and use of GigSky Products.
  • GigSky Products, including the SIM, may only be sold to persons 18 years old and above.
  • An account must have a valid SIM/eSIM associated with it. Accounts with unconfirmed email addresses will be deleted in 30 days of opening the account.
  • The SIM is not preloaded with data and a Service must be purchased in order to use data with the SIM.
  • The SIM and any Top-Up once sold cannot be returned to GigSky and the cost of the SIM and any unused usage will not be refunded by GigSky, regardless of whether the card and/or Top-Up plan have been activated.
    GigSky shall not, in any circumstance, be required to refund any balance remaining in the Service or in any Top-Up purchased by the Account Holder.
  • The Account Holder shall be fully responsible for the use of the SIM/eSIM and under no circumstances shall GigSky be liable for any loss, expenses, or damages incurred or suffered by a Account Holder resulting from the Account Holder’s misuse or non-conforming use of the SIM/eSIM and/or GigSky Services.
  • An Account Holder’s SIM and any Top-Up is non-transferable.
  • The SIM only allows for ‘data usage’ as defined by the Global System for Mobile Association (GSMA). All other services, including voice calls, SMS, and MMS cannot be made with the SIM.
  • The SIM only works on unlocked devices and GigSky devices, which can use the GigSky Access Point Name (APN). For device configuration, please read our FAQ.
  • Certain activated data plans of a limited number of destination countries may allow for the remaining data to be used upon entry in the United States provided that the activated data plan has not expired. If your destination country is one of the few that falls under this provision, the “Review Order” will indicate such allowance.

Online Purchase or Top-Up:

  • The Account Holder, by making his first online purchase or Top-Up transaction for a GigSky SIM, consents and authorizes GigSky to automatically debit the credit card (or other authorized payment method) used for the first purchase or Top-Up by the Account Holder for any future purchases or Top-Up of the same SIM.
  • The default transaction currency for the SIM shall be US Dollars or the displayed currency at the point of sale.
