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).

InternationalSIM: 14-day money-back guarantee: full refund if the eSIM QR code has not been scanned or activated, processed to the original payment method in 3–5 business 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.

InternationalSIM: Smartstart: plans activate automatically on arrival in a covered destination, with the validity period starting then, not at purchase; unactivated plans expire automatically 6 months after 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.

InternationalSIM: Data services are subject to Fair Use Policies set by the local network carrier per InternationalSIM's terms, but no specific data threshold or throttled speed is 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.

InternationalSIM: Existing eSIMs and SIM cards can be recharged with more data through the InternationalSIM customer portal without needing a new eSIM.
