Refund policy

Billion Connect: Refundable before activation; once activated/used, refund rights end; third-party partner purchases are excluded from refunds.

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

Billion Connect: Most plans start when the eSIM first connects to a supported network at your destination (some start on installation, as the product page states); activate within 90 days of purchase; a day = 24 hours from activation.

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

Billion Connect: Set per plan on the product page: most plans drop to a reduced speed (typically 128–384 kbps) after the high-speed allowance, daily or total, instead of cutting off; a few plans stop at the limit.

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

Billion Connect: Standard eSIMs can't be topped up; buy a new plan when data runs out. eSIM Air supports top-ups anytime without reinstalling.

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

Billion Connect: Most eSIMs can be reinstalled or moved to a new phone by rescanning the original QR code; plans marked non-reinstallable on the product page are lost once deleted.

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.

Billing currency

Billion Connect: Multi-currency checkout: USD, HKD, JPY, KRW, EUR, CNY, TWD, CAD, SGD, THB, MYR.
