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).

Yaalo: Refunds within 30 days for coverage failures preventing installation, unresolvable Yaalo-caused technical issues with no data used, or incorrect charges; installed or expired plans are 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.

Yaalo: Plan validity begins only when the eSIM connects to a mobile network at the destination, so it can be bought and installed early without losing days.

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.

Yaalo: Unlimited plans are throttled after the daily full-speed data allowance is used, per Yaalo Terms of Service; the exact GB threshold and reduced speed are not publicly disclosed.

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.

Yaalo: Add more data or extend validity directly from the Yaalo app or account dashboard, no eSIM reinstall needed, and top-ups apply immediately.

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.
