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).

SimSmash: Full refund if the eSIM has not been activated. Once activated, a partial refund pro rata to the unused data is offered within 24 hours of purchase. Contact support.

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.

SimSmash: Validity starts on activation, not on purchase; the eSIM can be bought up to 30 days before departure.

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.

SimSmash: Not confirmed yet

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.

SimSmash: Some plans can be topped up directly when the Top-Up option is shown; otherwise buy a new plan, delivered by email immediately.
