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).

MobiMatter: Cancellation possible only before the eSIM is downloaded/activated (operator fees may apply); after that, full or partial refund only for a genuine fault MobiMatter can't fix within 24h of you reporting it via its troubleshooting tool.

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.

MobiMatter: Depending on the operator, validity starts either when the eSIM is installed or only when it first connects to a network at the destination; check the package's own Product Description.

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.

MobiMatter: Unlimited packages carry a Fair Usage Policy against abnormal heavy use like continuous large downloads or P2P; MobiMatter may degrade or suspend service for violators, but no fixed data threshold or throttled speed is published.

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.

MobiMatter: A top-up buys a separate package from the same operator that auto-attaches to your existing eSIM (no new QR scan); it adds its own data/validity rather than extending the original plan, and isn't offered by every operator.

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.

MobiMatter: Deleting the eSIM, or a lost/factory-reset device, counts as 'Customer Induced Damage' voiding refund/replacement — no self-service reissue; contact support.

Billing currency

BNESIM: Not confirmed yet

MobiMatter: You can pick your billing currency at checkout (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD and more); the price and currency you select is what's charged to your card.
