Complaints & Escalation Policies

How to File a Complaint

If you encounter an issue or are dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, we encourage you to file a complaint so we can investigate and improve. To ensure we can address your concern effectively and promptly, please provide the following essential information when submitting your complaint:

• Your Inquiry Reference Number (if applicable): If your complaint relates to a previous interaction, support ticket, or service request, providing this number helps us quickly locate relevant information.
• Date of Contact/Incident: Specify when the issue occurred or when you last interacted with us regarding the problem. This helps establish a timeline for our investigation.
• Clear Description of the Problem: Please articulate the issue in detail. What happened? What were you expecting? What was the impact? Provide specific examples, dates, and any relevant messages or screenshots if possible.
• Your Preferred Contact Information: Include your full name, email address, and a phone number where we can reach you to discuss your complaint.

You can submit your complaint directly via email to [email protected]. Please use a clear subject line such as "Complaint Regarding eSIM Service" to help us prioritize your message.

Providing comprehensive details from the outset allows our team to understand your situation thoroughly and work towards a resolution without unnecessary delays. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in helping us maintain a high standard of service.

Response Timeframes

We are committed to acknowledging and resolving your complaints in a timely manner. Here are our standard response timeframes:

• Acknowledgment: You will receive an acknowledgment of your complaint within 2 business days of submission. This email will confirm that we have received your complaint and provide you with a unique reference number for tracking.
• Target Resolution: We aim to resolve all complaints within 10 business days from the date of acknowledgment. Our team will conduct a thorough investigation, gather all necessary information, and communicate our findings and proposed resolution to you.

Please note that complex issues may require more time for a complete investigation. In such cases, we will keep you informed of the progress and provide an updated timeframe for resolution. Our goal is always to provide a fair and effective solution to your concerns.

Escalation Process

While we strive for satisfactory resolutions at the initial stage, we understand that you might sometimes feel your complaint has not been fully addressed. If you are not satisfied with the resolution provided, you have the option to escalate your complaint.

To escalate your complaint, please send a new email to [email protected] with the subject line "Escalation: [Original Complaint Reference Number]". In this email, please:

• Clearly state that you wish to escalate your complaint.
• Reference your original complaint number.
• Explain why you are not satisfied with the proposed resolution or the handling of your complaint.
• Provide any additional information or documentation you believe is relevant.

Upon receiving an escalation request, your complaint will be reviewed by a senior member of our team who was not involved in the initial handling. This ensures an impartial review and a fresh perspective. We aim to provide a final response to escalated complaints within 5 business days of receiving the escalation request. Our commitment is to ensure all concerns are thoroughly reviewed and addressed to the most suitable of our ability.

What is Outside the Scope of Complaints

It's important to understand what types of issues fall within our complaint handling policy and what does not. Our policy is designed to address grievances related to the service we directly provide—specifically, our guidance on eSIM selection, activation, troubleshooting, and device compatibility.

The following types of issues are generally outside the direct scope of our complaints process, as they relate to services or products not directly provided by Alralo eSIM Desk:

• Issues with eSIM data plans purchased from third-party providers: This includes problems with network coverage, data speed, billing errors, or service outages that are the responsibility of the eSIM carrier or provider from whom you purchased the plan.
• Device hardware failures or compatibility issues not related to eSIM functionality: For example, problems with your phone's screen, battery life, or general software bugs unrelated to eSIM setup.
• Refunds or cancellations of eSIM plans: These are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the specific eSIM provider you chose, and you should contact them directly for such requests.
• General inquiries or requests for information: While we welcome all questions, routine inquiries about eSIMs or our services that do not indicate a problem or dissatisfaction are optimal handled through our standard contact channels, not as formal complaints.
• Disputes arising from misinformation gathered from sources other than Alralo eSIM Desk: We can only be responsible for the accuracy and quality of the information we directly provide.

For issues falling outside our direct scope, we recommend contacting the relevant service provider or manufacturer. However, we are always happy to offer general advice and point you in the right direction where possible. Our focus remains on ensuring the quality and accuracy of the eSIM information and guidance we offer.

Detailed Complaint Resolution Process

Our commitment is to resolve your concerns systematically and fairly. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of our complaint resolution process:

1. Step 1: Inquiry Submission: You submit your complaint via email to [email protected], providing all necessary details as outlined in the "How to File a Complaint" section.
2. Step 2: Initial Review & Acknowledgment: Our customer support team receives your email. Within 2 business days, you will receive an acknowledgment email with a unique complaint reference number. This step confirms we've received your concern and logged it for investigation.
3. Step 3: Information Gathering: The assigned agent begins collecting all relevant information. This may involve reviewing past communications, service records, and internal notes related to your interaction or the specific guidance provided.
4. Step 4: Internal Investigation: Our team thoroughly investigates the issue based on the information provided and gathered. This might involve consulting with subject matter experts, reviewing our internal processes, or cross-referencing information.
5. Step 5: Proposed Resolution Formulation: Based on the investigation, a proposed resolution or explanation is developed. This aims to address the root cause of your complaint and offer a satisfactory outcome.
6. Step 6: Communication of Resolution: We will contact you, typically within 10 business days of acknowledgment, to communicate our findings and the proposed resolution. We will explain our decision clearly and answer any questions you may have.
7. Step 7: Customer Feedback & Acceptance: You have the opportunity to review our proposed resolution. If you are satisfied, the complaint is considered resolved and closed.
8. Step 8: Escalation (if applicable): If you are not satisfied with the proposed resolution, you can initiate the escalation process as described in the "Escalation Process" section. A senior team member will then review your complaint independently.
9. Step 9: Final Resolution/Communication: For escalated cases, the senior team member will communicate their final findings and resolution, aiming for closure of the complaint within 5 business days of the escalation request.

This structured approach ensures that every complaint receives the attention it deserves and is handled with diligence and fairness from start to finish.

Our Service Area: Global eSIM Information

Alralo eSIM Desk operates as an online information and guidance platform, meaning our "service area" is inherently global. We provide comprehensive information on choosing, activating, and troubleshooting eSIMs for international travel, serving travelers irrespective of their home country or destination.

While our digital services have worldwide reach, the nuances of eSIM functionality and network availability can vary significantly by region. Our guidance takes these regional differences into account to provide the most accurate and useful advice possible:

• North America (USA, Canada, Mexico): Strong eSIM adoption with numerous local and regional providers. Coverage is generally robust, but rural areas can still present challenges. Device compatibility is high for newer models.
• Europe: A highly competitive market with extensive eSIM options across individual countries and regional bundles (e.g., EU-wide plans). Excellent 4G/5G coverage in most areas, with specific considerations for island nations or remote regions.
• Southeast Asia: Growing eSIM availability, particularly in popular tourist destinations like Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore. Pricing and data allowances can be very competitive. Older phone models might have less eSIM support in certain local markets.
• Africa: eSIM adoption is emerging, with increasing availability in major cities and more developed countries. Coverage can be highly variable, with significant differences between urban centers and remote regions. Researching specific country coverage is crucial.
• South America: eSIM support is expanding, especially in larger countries like Brazil and Argentina. Network infrastructure can differ, impacting data speeds and reliability outside of major metropolitan areas.
• Australia & New Zealand: Good eSIM support from major carriers. Coverage is excellent in populated areas but can be sparse in vast, remote regions, particularly in Australia's Outback.
• Middle East: eSIM services are available from key providers in countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, often catering to business travelers and tourists with competitive data packages.

Our content consistently highlights these regional variations, advising users to cross-reference information with local provider details for their specific travel plans. We aim to equip you with the knowledge to navigate these global complexities and make informed decisions for your connectivity needs.
