Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 27 July 2026

Welcome to TripCell!

TripCell (accessible at https://tripcell.co) is a travel connectivity service that sells prepaid, data-only eSIM plans, allowing travellers to connect to local mobile data networks in over 200 countries and regions without a physical SIM card. TripCell is operated by BIT&UNION LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16541499, with its registered address 20 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU (referred to as "we", "us", "our", or the "Company").

Please read these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") carefully before accessing the Website or purchasing any eSIM plan or other product or service (the "Services") through it. By accessing the Website, creating an account, or purchasing a Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy (together, the "Terms of Use"), which form a binding agreement between you (the "User", "you" or "your") and the Company. If you do not accept these Terms in full, you must not use the Website or purchase any Services.

1. Definitions

  • "Website" means tripcell.co and any related applications, subdomains, or platforms operated by the Company.
  • "eSIM" means a digital, embedded SIM profile that can be downloaded and activated on a compatible device without the need for a physical SIM card.
  • "Plan" means a prepaid, data-only mobile data package purchased through the Website, including local (single-country), regional, and global plans.
  • "Activation" means the moment a Plan's validity period begins, which occurs when the eSIM first connects to a supported mobile data network, not at the time of purchase.
  • "User Account" means the personal account created by a user to purchase and manage Plans.
  • "Content" means all materials made available on the Website, including text, graphics, logos, and software.
  • "Business Days" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday in England.

2. About Our Service

TripCell sells prepaid, data-only eSIM Plans for use while travelling. Our Plans provide mobile data connectivity only; they do not include traditional voice calling or SMS text messaging services. Users may continue to make calls and send messages using internet-based applications such as WhatsApp, Viber, or Messenger while connected to a TripCell Plan.

We do not operate our own mobile network. Instead, we partner with local and international mobile network operators and purchase wholesale data allowances, which we resell to travellers as convenient, ready-to-use eSIM Plans. Our revenue is derived from the margin between the wholesale cost of data and the retail price charged to customers.

How It Works

  • Check that your device is eSIM-compatible and network-unlocked before purchasing a Plan. Compatibility varies by device manufacturer and model, and it is your responsibility to confirm compatibility before purchase.
  • Select your destination country, region, or a global Plan, and choose a data allowance and validity period that suits your needs.
  • Complete your purchase. Prices are displayed in Euros (EUR) unless otherwise stated.
  • Following purchase, you will receive a QR code and/or activation details by email and within your User Account. Scan the QR code to install the eSIM profile on your device.
  • Your Plan's validity period begins only when your device first connects to a supported mobile data network in the relevant destination — not at the time of purchase or installation. This allows you to install your eSIM in advance of travel without losing any of your data validity period.

3. Eligibility

To use the Website or purchase Services, you must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. By using the Website, you confirm that you meet these requirements. Access to the Website and Services may be restricted in certain jurisdictions where their provision would violate applicable laws, sanctions, or export controls, and we reserve the right to restrict access accordingly.

4. User Account

You may need to create a User Account to purchase and manage Plans. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorised use of your account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering, and providing false or misleading information may result in suspension or termination of your account.

5. Device Compatibility and Device Lock

It is your sole responsibility to verify, before purchase, that your device supports eSIM technology, is unlocked to accept third-party eSIM profiles, and is compatible with the mobile networks available in your destination. We are not liable for a Plan that cannot be activated due to device incompatibility, and, save where required by applicable consumer law, purchases are non-refundable on this basis once the eSIM profile has been installed or activated.

Each eSIM is device-locked, meaning it is tied to the specific device on which it is installed and cannot automatically be transferred to a different device. If you need to transfer an unused or partially used Plan to a new device, please contact us at [email protected]; transfers are provided at our discretion and are not guaranteed.

6. Payment

Prices for Plans are displayed on the Website in Euros (EUR) and may change at our discretion; changes will not affect Plans already purchased. We accept payment via Visa, Mastercard, and any other payment methods listed on the Website at checkout. All payments are processed through third-party payment processors that are PCI DSS compliant. You represent that you are authorised to use the payment method provided and that all payment information you supply is accurate.

We may utilise third-party payment processors to handle transactions. These processors operate under their own terms and conditions and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

7. Plan Validity, Top-Ups, and Data Usage

  • Each Plan has a defined data allowance and validity period, as shown at the time of purchase. Validity begins on Activation (i.e., first network connection), not at purchase.
  • Unused data does not carry over between separate Plan purchases unless expressly stated at the time of purchase.
  • You will receive an in-app notification when you have used approximately 70% of your data allowance, giving you the opportunity to purchase a top-up before your data is exhausted.
  • Top-ups can be purchased instantly through the TripCell app or Website and are added to your existing active Plan.
  • Tethering and mobile hotspot use are permitted on all Plans at no additional charge, subject to fair use and any technical restrictions imposed by the underlying network operator.
  • Network speeds, coverage, and quality are provided by third-party mobile network operators in each destination and are outside our direct control. We do not guarantee any specific speed, coverage, or uninterrupted connectivity.

8. No Contracts

All Plans are prepaid and there are no ongoing contracts, subscriptions, or minimum commitments unless expressly stated otherwise for a specific product. You may activate or stop using a Plan at any time; deactivation does not entitle you to a refund except as set out in Section 9 below.

9. Refunds and Cancellations

We offer a 30-day refund on any Plan that remains unused and unexpired, calculated from the date of purchase. To be eligible, the Plan must not have been activated (i.e., the eSIM must not have connected to any mobile data network) and must not have passed its validity expiry date.

Once a Plan has been activated — meaning your device has connected to a mobile data network under that Plan — it is treated as a digital service that has begun performance with your express consent, and you acknowledge that your statutory right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 is lost from the point of activation, to the extent permitted by law.

This does not affect your rights if a Plan is faulty, was not activated due to a fault attributable to us, or does not conform to its description. To request a refund, contact us at [email protected] with your order details. Approved refunds will be processed to your original payment method without undue delay, and in any event within 14 days of our acceptance of the refund request, subject to processing times of your payment provider. No fees will be charged for processing a valid refund.

If you are a consumer resident outside the UK, additional local consumer protection laws may also apply to your purchase and are not excluded by this section.
