1 Ubigi customer service — professional guide for users and administrators

Ubigi is a global eSIM and mobile data provider used by consumers, OEM partners, and enterprises. For customer-service matters it relies primarily on its web help center (https://support.ubigi.com) and in‑app support inside the Ubigi mobile application (iOS and Android). This document explains exactly how to contact Ubigi, what data to collect before contacting support, typical response timelines, common technical fixes, and escalation/refund practices so you get a fast, complete resolution.

The guidance below is written from the perspective of a technical support engineer who has handled eSIM activations, billing inquiries, and M2M connectivity issues. Expect practical checklists, precise fields to copy into tickets, and realistic timelines (initial replies usually arrive within 24–72 hours for consumer tickets; enterprise cases are handled under contract). Where purchases were made through Apple App Store or Google Play, refunds and billing disputes follow the store’s policies — see Apple/Google for those specific processes.

Contact channels: where and how to reach Ubigi

Ubigi’s public customer-service entry points are: the in‑app chat (the fastest option for activation problems), the web support portal at https://support.ubigi.com for ticket creation and FAQs, and social media for status updates. Ubigi generally routes technical issues through the web portal so support staff can collect logs and attach diagnostic files; therefore open a ticket there if you need follow-up or a formal record.

Phone support is not generally published for consumer accounts; if you require voice support or a callback, request it within your ticket and provide a convenient time zone and phone number. For enterprise or IoT/M2M customers, contracts typically include a dedicated account manager and a published emergency phone number or escalation path — check your commercial agreement for the correct contact details.

Fastest route for activation or provisioning issues: open in‑app chat and include your purchase ID. Typical initial response: 24–48 hours.

For billing and refunds: start a support ticket at https://support.ubigi.com and attach proof of payment (receipt or transaction ID). If purchase was via the App Store or Play Store, request refund through that store first.

For technical diagnostics: include device model, OS version, app version, eSIM EID/ICCID (if visible), IMEI, screenshots and exact timestamps (UTC) of the failure.

Preparing a support request — exact data to collect

Before you contact Ubigi, gather the precise identifiers and evidence support teams need to act without repeated back-and‑forth. Required fields that accelerate resolution: transaction order ID (example format: UB-123456789), date and time of purchase (include timezone), name on the account, last 4 digits of the payment card used, device model (e.g., iPhone 12, Samsung S21), OS build number (e.g., iOS 16.4.1), and the Ubigi app version (displayed in Settings → About or app store listing).

For connectivity and activation problems, export or screenshot these items and attach them to your ticket: the eSIM EID (a 19–20 digit number printed in the QR profile or in device settings), the ICCID shown in Settings after installation, the QR code image used for installation (if available), and a cellular logs file if your device can produce one. Also note the exact error message text and the UTC timestamp when the failure occurred — support engineers use timestamps to correlate with backend logs.

Common problems and step‑by‑step resolutions

The typical support categories are: activation failures, “no data” after activation, billing/duplicate charges, and provisioning wrong region. For each case, a short triage sequence resolves ~70–85% of consumer tickets without escalation. Follow the triage checklist before opening a ticket — this saves time and often gives an immediate fix.

Activation failed: 1) Reboot the device (30 seconds power‑down); 2) Ensure Wi‑Fi is active during eSIM install; 3) If you scanned a QR code, delete the profile and re‑install from the original QR or use the activation code in the order email; 4) If install still fails, collect EID/ICCID and open a support ticket with screenshots and the order ID.

No mobile data after activation: 1) Confirm Cellular Data and Data Roaming are enabled in Settings; 2) Toggle Airplane Mode on for 10 seconds and off; 3) Check the cellular network list and force a manual operator selection to trigger profile provisioning; 4) If APN settings are required, attach screenshots of current APN to the ticket — Ubigi support can push or confirm correct parameters server‑side.

Billing/duplicate charge: gather receipt(s) and transaction IDs, note the payment method (last 4 digits), and open a billing ticket. If the purchase came through Apple/Google, those platforms control refunds and will require a report through their refund process first.

Escalation, refunds, and timeframes

When a ticket requires escalation, ask for the ticket number (format like TCKT-2025-XXXXX) and request a timeline. Reasonable escalation steps are: Tier 1 accepts the ticket and attempts a fix (within 24–72 hours), Tier 2 does deeper diagnostics (additional 48–72 hours), and management or commercial escalation is used for unresolved billing disputes or service outages. If you do not receive acknowledgement in 72 hours, reply to the ticket or re‑open it referencing the original ticket ID and asking for escalation.

Refunds: consumer refunds typically complete within 7–14 business days once approved, depending on your bank/card issuer. If the purchase was made via App Store or Google Play, those stores manage the refund and timelines vary (Apple often processes within 5–10 business days). Keep your evidence: screenshots, timestamps, and the ticket ID — these are required both for internal refunds and for payment disputes raised with card issuers.

Business accounts, SLAs and advanced support

Enterprises, OEM partners, and M2M customers should use their contract channel for support. Typical commercial contracts include a named Technical Account Manager (TAM), a support email, and SLA metrics for provisioning and availability. Example commercial expectations: emergency escalation within 1 hour, targeted provisioning time within 4 hours for bulk device enrollments, and monthly reporting on uptime — the exact terms are defined in your master services agreement.

For volume pricing and IoT deployments, prepare a connectivity plan that specifies expected SIM/eSIM volumes, geographic coverage, typical throughput per device (MB/day), and expected churn. These metrics let Ubigi design the correct routing, rate plans (volume discounts often start at 1,000+ active connections), and a support cadence (weekly operational calls, monthly performance reviews). Ask your Ubigi TAM for change control procedures and scheduled maintenance windows so you can align device firmware updates with connectivity changes.
