The fastest way
RedteaGO plans are prepaid, nothing auto-renews, so there is no subscription to cancel. For a refund, delete the eSIM profile from your device, then email service@redteago.com with subject "Refund request, Order [ID], eSIM not working" plus screenshots. Claims must be filed within 30 days of purchase; refunds take 5 to 10 business days.
Or let yoink do it for you.

- Post: Postal notices can be sent to eSIM Access Limited, FLAT/ROOM 8, 15/F Witty Commercial Building, 1A-1L Tung Choi Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong, listed in the Terms as an alternative to email, not required for refunds.. Send it tracked so you can prove delivery.
- Email (fastest): Email
service@redteago.comwith the template below, the route that creates a paper trail and carries the refund ask.
Timing matters: No renewal date to beat, plans are prepaid and expire on their own. The clocks that matter: refund/replacement claims within 30 days of the purchase date, and written disputes over an incorrect charge within 10 days of the charge. Activating the eSIM counts as using it.

RedteaGO plans you can cancel
- eSIM Free Trial (new users)$0.00/mo
Trial eSIM is a small one-off data allowance for new accounts, not a recurring plan, it simply expires, there is nothing to cancel.
- Basic Unlimited (daily)
Sold as a fixed block of days (2 to 180) paid up front at roughly $0.70/day; the plan ends when the validity period runs out.
- Premium Unlimited (daily)
Around $5.90/day with a daily high-speed allowance then throttled data; prepaid for the days you select, no renewal.
- USA 3GB / 30 days$15.00/mo
One-off purchase; contract ends automatically when the 30-day validity expires.
- Global 20GB / 365 days$68.00/yr
Long-validity prepaid plan (~$68); no auto-renewal, but the 30-day refund clock still runs from the purchase date, not from first use.
- Add Data / Top-up
Top-ups apply to an existing eSIM and take effect immediately.
- RedteaGO Credit (wallet)
Wallet balance topped up by card or earned via referrals ($4 per referral).
What happens to what you’ve already paid
RedteaGO sells one-off prepaid eSIM data plans, not subscriptions, so refunds are the whole game, there is no recurring charge to stop. For eSIM data plans, a refund or replacement is only guaranteed when the eSIM cannot be activated or used because of a RedteaGO-side technical fault, and the request must be filed within 30 days of the purchase date with screenshots and error messages; refuse to supply that evidence and they can decline. Once a plan is activated it is treated as used, unused data at the end of the validity period is forfeited, and data top-ups and RedteaGO Credit wallet balances are explicitly non-refundable. Separately, any dispute about an incorrect or duplicate charge must be raised in writing within 10 days of the charge, so billing errors have a much shorter clock than faulty-eSIM claims.
“If, due to a technical issue on the part of RedteaGO, the eSIM cannot be activated or used normally, the user is entitled to request a refund or a replacement eSIM. Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the purchase date.”

Asking specifically for money back, not just a cancellation? See the dedicated RedteaGO refund guide , same data, but framed around the policy + escalation paths.
Does RedteaGO charge a cancellation fee?
RedteaGO’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends.
What doesn’t work for cancelling RedteaGO
Based on 8 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Deleting the eSIM profile from your phone and assuming that cancels the order and triggers a refund, Deleting the profile is only the first step RedteaGO asks for; the refund still has to be requested and approved by their support team over email, and a deleted profile with no email trail just leaves you with nothing.
- ✕ Asking for a refund after you have activated and used the plan because the trip was cancelled or you changed your mind, The Terms state that once the eSIM has been activated it is deemed used and refunds will not be provided unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- ✕ Claiming back unused gigabytes after the validity period ends, The refund policy says unused data, SMS and call minutes are automatically forfeited on expiry and are non-refundable, non-extendable and non-transferable.
- ✕ Requesting cash back for a data top-up or a RedteaGO Credit balance, Top-ups activate immediately and are stated as non-refundable, and Credit balances are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
- ✕ Raising an incorrect-charge dispute weeks after the payment, Both the Terms and the refund policy require written charge disputes within 10 days of the charge, and say late submissions may not be accepted.
- ✕ Calling a support phone line, RedteaGO publishes no consumer support telephone number, the documented routes are the in-app/website live chat and service@redteago.com.
- ✕ Sending a bare 'it didn't work, refund me' message with no order ID or screenshots, The policy lets RedteaGO reject the claim if you don't cooperate with troubleshooting, and reviewers describe being told their data was 'already used' and being sent copy-paste replies until evidence was produced.
- ✕ Expecting the eSIM to move to a replacement handset instead of being refunded, Reviewers report that if the original activation device is unavailable the profile can't be transferred and remaining data is lost; RedteaGO's own FAQ says transfer isn't possible with current eSIM architecture.
Cancelled RedteaGO but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from RedteaGO, treat it as not cancelled. Email
service@redteago.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on RedteaGO’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- You're inside a minimum term. Some RedteaGO plans keep charging until a fixed term ends even after you cancel, check the plan notes above.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if RedteaGO charges again.
How RedteaGO will try to keep you
RedteaGO may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offering a replacement eSIM instead of your money back, the Terms give RedteaGO the choice of 'a refund or a replacement eSIM', and Trustpilot replies repeatedly lead with a replacement plan.”
You say: "I am declining the replacement eSIM. Under clause 5.1 the remedy is a refund *or* a replacement and I am electing the refund. Please return $[amount] to the original payment method for order [ID]."
They’ll say: “Offering a free trial plan, bonus data or RedteaGO Credit for a future trip in place of cash, public replies have offered a trial plan as goodwill.”
You say: "Credit is not acceptable, your own Terms state RedteaGO Credit is non-refundable and non-exchangeable for cash, so accepting it would extinguish my refund right. Please refund to the original card."
They’ll say: “Telling you the data was already consumed, so the eSIM must have worked, a recurring complaint in Trustpilot reviews where the connection never came up at all.”
You say: "Attached are screenshots of Settings > Cellular showing no connection and the carrier registration failure at [time/date]. If your usage records show consumption, please send the session logs; otherwise this is a network-side fault under clause 5.1."
They’ll say: “Endless troubleshooting loops (reinstall, re-scan the QR, buy more data) that push you past the 30-day claim window.”
You say: "I have completed the troubleshooting steps listed below with evidence attached. I am formally logging my refund request today, [date], within the 30-day window in clause 5.1. Continued troubleshooting does not pause that request."
They’ll say: “Blaming the local carrier or local regulation (Turkey and mainland China come up often) as a reason the fault isn't theirs.”
You say: "You sold and advertised coverage for [country]. A partner-network limitation is a defect in the service you supplied, not an exclusion, the plan did not deliver what was described, so I am requesting a full refund."
They’ll say: “Asking for more and more evidence, with the policy note that refusal to cooperate lets them reject the claim.”
You say: "Everything requested is attached: order ID, ICCID, device model, OS version, dated screenshots and error messages. I have fully cooperated as required by clause 5.1; please confirm the refund within 5 business days."
They’ll say: “Going quiet on email after the first reply, letting the 10-day charge-dispute clock and 30-day refund clock run out.”
You say: "This is my second written request, sent [date]. If I don't have a refund confirmation within 5 business days I will raise a chargeback with my card issuer / PayPal and attach this thread as evidence of an unresolved defect claim."

Delete your RedteaGO account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.
If there’s no delete option in RedteaGO’s account settings, email service@redteago.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
Common questions about cancelling RedteaGO
There is no subscription to cancel, every RedteaGO plan is **prepaid with a fixed validity period**, and the Terms say the contract terminates automatically when that period expires. Nothing renews and no card is charged again. What people usually mean by "cancel" is one of two things: stopping the eSIM using data (delete the profile in *Settings > Cellular > Cellular Plan > Delete eSIM* on iPhone, or *Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network* on Android), or getting money back for a plan that never worked. For the money, email **service@redteago.com** with your order ID, deleting the profile alone refunds nothing.
