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).

Saily: Full refund if the eSIM has not been installed or the data plan was never activated; after activation, refunds only while more than 99% of the data balance remains unused (subscriptions: within 14 days).

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.

Saily: Saily plans must be installed before your trip; the validity/data countdown starts when the eSIM activates (first connection at your destination), not at 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.

Saily: Unlimited plans include a Fair Use Policy: full-speed data resets every 24 hours (5GB standard, as low as 3GB in some countries), then speed is reduced until the next reset.

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.

Saily: Existing Saily eSIMs can be topped up (including an Auto Top-Up option) directly in the Saily app without reinstalling, per their Help Center.

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.

Saily: Saily eSIMs can be reinstalled anytime at no extra cost directly from the app, as long as you're logged into the same account -- no reinstall-count limit is published.

Billing currency

BNESIM: Not confirmed yet

Saily: Checkout is charged in USD; a currency-conversion fee may apply if your card's home currency isn't USD, per Saily's Help Center.
