Refund policy

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).

Keepgo: You can cancel and request a refund by email or chat, but eSIMs not yet installed or activated must be claimed within 30 days of purchase; all refunds (except crypto) carry a 10% fee, and refills aren't refundable.

Validity starts

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.

Keepgo: No expiry: the data balance is valid for a lifetime, but an account with no purchase, refill or usage for 24 straight months can be suspended and deleted (with its lines) after a 30-day email notice.

Fair-use 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.

Keepgo: Their Terms of Service (§12) apply a fair-use limit of 7,000 MB per month to all data plans; above that within 30 days Keepgo may suspend or restrict the connection.

Top-ups & rollover

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.

Keepgo: Refill any time from your Keepgo account in fixed packs (100 MB up to 50 or 100 GB depending on the bundle); Auto-Refill is available.

Lost device / reinstalling

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.

Keepgo: QR codes only work on the first device; if you lose or change the phone or delete the eSIM, you buy a new eSIM and support moves the unused data to it (not for lines deactivated with under 100MB).

Billing currency

BNESIM: Not confirmed yet

Keepgo: Refill prices are set in USD and EUR; set the account currency to EUR to pay with iDEAL or Bancontact.
