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).

MoodSIM: Not installed and within 14 days of purchase: full refund. Once installed (QR code scanned or one-tap install used): non-refundable. Top-ups and cryptocurrency payments are always non-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.

MoodSIM: Shown per plan: "Upon Connect" plans start validity on first network connection at the destination (can install ahead of time); "Upon Install" plans start the moment the QR code is scanned. All eSIMs must be installed within 180 days of purchase.

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.

MoodSIM: Some plans apply a fair usage policy (mainly the daily-unlimited plans) — speed is reduced after the stated daily high-speed allowance, per the plan's own details. Not grounds for a refund.

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.

MoodSIM: Top-ups add both data and validity time. Optional auto top-up recharges automatically once remaining data falls below ~300MB, charging the saved card the plan's original price; a failed charge disables auto top-up rather than retrying. Not every plan supports top-up (shown per plan).

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.

MoodSIM: If you delete the eSIM by accident, try re-scanning the original QR code on the same device (some profiles allow reinstall); otherwise contact support with your ICCID. eSIMs can't be moved to a new phone, which needs a new eSIM.

Billing currency

BNESIM: Not confirmed yet

MoodSIM: Prices are shown in USD. At checkout you can pay in your local currency (Stripe adds a roughly 2-4% conversion fee) or in USD (your own bank's exchange rate/foreign-transaction fee may apply instead) — the underlying price is identical either way.
