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).

Yatelo: Refunds only for issues on Yatelo's side, requested within 30 days of purchase and only for unused data; used data is non-refundable and approved refunds may carry processing fees.

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.

Yatelo: Your plan only starts counting once you connect -- the countdown begins at first network connection, not 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.

Yatelo: Fixed-data plans hard-cap at the purchased allowance. Standard unlimited plans feature a daily high-speed cap and throttle speeds once crossed; Truly Unlimited plans have no daily cap. Plan details for all options explicitly state these terms prior to purchase.

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.

Yatelo: Add more data or buy a new plan anytime within the app.

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.

Yatelo: If you delete the eSIM or change phones, contact support and they help reinstall or replace the eSIM, depending on the plan.
