Frequently asked questions
What do BNESIM plans cost?+
Prices start at €3.35, and the lowest per GB rate is €0.60. Rates move by destination: €6.99 for the US plan, €5.99 for Japan and €11.99 for Germany, so a given allowance costs less in some countries than others.
How many countries does BNESIM cover?+
Coverage spans from 200 countries, sold as local, regional and global plans. A regional plan suits a route across neighbouring countries, a global plan covers itineraries that cross regions, and local plans are listed for single-country trips.
Is there an unlimited data plan, and what are the limits?+
Unlimited data, hotspot and instant activation are listed features, and the fair use policy sets the limits: speed can be reduced when the network is heavily used, IPTV and continuous downloads sit outside the rules, and short social video stays allowed.
Can I share the connection with other devices?+
Hotspot sharing is supported. The BNE GO portable eSIM WiFi router goes further and connects 16 devices, with global data included in the device and top-ups sold in the app, so a group can share a single line.
How do I get help from BNESIM?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone. The company operates as BNESIM Limited from HK, founded in 2017. A help centre, live chat, email and a phone line are all listed, which is useful for travellers who need help while abroad.
Can I add data during my trip?+
Top-ups are available, and for the BNE GO device they are sold in the app, so the set global allowance can stretch across a long trip. The catalogue also serves short trip and long trip trips, and unlimited plans suit heavy users within the fair use terms.
Who is BNESIM suited to?+
The catalogue is built around short trip and long trip trips and local, regional and global plans, so both a single-country stay and a multi-region itinerary are covered. Travellers who compare per GB rates before buying, or who need a router for a group, have plenty to work with.
