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).

NXTL: Purchases are generally final once the eSIM is delivered; duplicate payments and non-delivery are refunded, and NXTL advertises a connectivity guarantee — if support can't get you connected in a supported destination, you get a refund.

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.

NXTL: NXTL is pay-as-you-go with no bundle expiry - purchased balance never expires and carries over to future trips instead of counting down from a fixed validity period.

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.

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.

NXTL: Balance top-ups are managed entirely from your account at nxtlsim.com, no app or profile reinstall needed, and credit the moment payment clears.

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.

NXTL: NXTL's setup guide says not to delete an installed eSIM unless support tells you to, and deleted profiles aren't refundable per its Terms -- there's no self-service reinstall option, so contact support directly.

Billing currency

BNESIM: Not confirmed yet

NXTL: Checkout defaults to USD but a currency switcher lets you view and pay in EUR or GBP; your own card issuer may still apply a foreign-transaction fee.
