Wholesale eSIM with No Contract and No Minimums: How Pay-As-You-Go Works

Short answer: eSIM Signal partners have no setup fee, no monthly minimum and no fixed-term contract. You top up a prepaid balance, pay the wholesale price only for each eSIM you actually issue, and can end the partnership whenever you want. An eSIM your customer never installed can be refunded to your balance within the refund window.

Why commitments are a problem for resellers

Many wholesale telecom deals are built for the supplier: a monthly spend you must reach, a setup fee before your first sale, a 12- or 24-month contract and stock bought in advance. For a travel agency trying eSIMs for the first time, or a platform with seasonal demand, that is all risk before revenue.

How pay-as-you-go wholesale works

1. Apply and get approved. There is no setup fee.
2. Top up your balance by card whenever you need to. A small minimum applies per top-up.
3. Issue eSIMs on demand. Each order is charged at your partner price at the moment you place it.
4. Sell at your own price. The margin is yours.
5. Keep going — or pause. A quiet month costs you nothing.

What "no commitments" covers

• No monthly minimum. Sell one eSIM in November and three hundred in July.
• No stock. eSIMs are created when you order them, so nothing expires unsold in a drawer.
• No lock-in. You can end the partner agreement at any time, and eSIMs you already delivered keep working until they expire.
• No setup or subscription fee. The Business Panel, the API, webhooks, team accounts and the price list are all included.
• Refunds on unused eSIMs. If a trip is cancelled and the eSIM was never installed, request a refund within the refund window and the money returns to your balance.

Seasonal businesses benefit most

Travel is seasonal. Summer on the Mediterranean, ski season in the Alps, Christmas markets in Germany and Austria, Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia, cherry blossom in Japan — demand moves around the calendar. With pay-as-you-go, your costs move with it. Low-balance alerts and optional automatic top-up keep you selling through the peaks without tying up cash in the quiet months.

Staying in control of your spending

• An itemised ledger of every deposit, order and refund, with receipts and CSV or Excel exports.
• Low-balance alerts by email when your balance drops below your threshold.
• Automatic top-up only if you switch it on, with daily limits.
• Team roles, so only the people you choose can manage billing.

Is it right for a small business?

Yes — this model exists for exactly that. A two-person travel agency, a tour guide selling to their groups or a new travel app can start with a small balance, see what sells, and grow from there. Larger partners get the same flexibility, plus volume discounts once their monthly volume is steady. See our pricing guide and how to start an eSIM reseller business.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a minimum order for wholesale eSIMs?

There is no monthly minimum and no minimum order volume — you can order a single eSIM at a time as you sell. Balance top-ups have a small minimum amount.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. The eSIM Signal partner agreement has no fixed term, and you can end it at any time.

What happens to my customers' eSIMs if I stop reselling?

eSIMs you already delivered keep working until they expire.

Are there setup or monthly fees?

No setup fee and no monthly fee. You pay the wholesale price of each eSIM you issue; card top-ups of your balance carry a small processing fee.

Can I get money back for eSIMs that were never used?

An eSIM that was never installed can be refunded to your balance within the refund window. Installed or used eSIMs cannot be refunded.
