Refund policy

AirSims: 100% refund on unactivated eSIMs requested within 180 days of purchase, back to the original payment method; activated eSIMs are refunded only case by case.

BNESIM: Refund requests must be made within 14 days of purchase and are denied once over 10% of the plan's data has been used; approved refunds go to BNE Wallet credit (24h) or the original payment method (up to 3 business days).

Validity starts

AirSims: Validity starts on the eSIM's first connection at the destination (often on landing or crossing the border), not at purchase.

BNESIM: Data validity starts counting down as soon as a plan is purchased by default; BNESIM also lets you schedule activation for a specific future day instead. Once installed, the eSIM begins working within about a minute of connecting to a local network.

Fair-use limit

AirSims: Unlimited day-pass plans include a daily high-speed allowance (500MB-2GB depending on country) before throttling to 128Kbps-3Mbps; resets at midnight local time.

BNESIM: Unlimited-data plans may be suspended if daily usage reaches 5GB or monthly usage reaches 100GB; BNESIM reserves the right to limit speed for very high network use.

Top-ups & rollover

AirSims: Self-serve automated top-ups are available 24/7 via a web portal; manual top-ups are handled during business hours.

BNESIM: Top up via the BNESIM eSIM app: open My eSIMs, pick the eSIM to recharge, then choose a country and data plan; no reinstall needed.

Lost device / reinstalling

AirSims: AirSims eSIMs can be rescanned/reinstalled on the same device as needed, but the QR code only works on one device -- if you lose the activation email, check spam or contact AirSims support.

BNESIM: A BNESIM eSIM can be reinstalled on the same device as needed, but it can't be moved to a new device -- switching devices requires requesting a paid replacement (1 EUR) via BNESIM support.
