eSIM Auto-Refill — How It Works and How to Control It

eSIM Auto-Refill — Stay Connected Automatically

Auto-Refill ensures you never run out of data during a trip. When your balance gets low, it automatically adds funds using your saved card.

How Auto-Refill Works

  • When your balance drops below 20% of your selected refill amount, a refill is triggered automatically
  • For example, if your refill amount is $25, a refill triggers when your balance drops below $5
  • The selected amount ($10, $25, $50, or $100) is charged to your saved card
  • Your eSIM stays connected without interruption

Setting Up Auto-Refill

  1. Log in at travel.bcengi.com
  2. Go to your eSIM detail page
  3. Toggle Balance Auto Refill → ON
  4. Select your preferred refill amount
  5. Add a payment method if needed

Controlling Spending

  • Daily Limit: Set a maximum number of refills per day. When reached, no more auto-refills occur until the next day.
  • No Limit: Refills as needed to keep you connected
  • Change amount anytime: Switch between $10, $25, $50, or $100
  • Turn off anytime: Toggle Auto-Refill OFF and no automatic charges will occur

When Auto-Refill Is Off

If Auto-Refill is off and your balance reaches $0, your eSIM will stop working until you manually add funds. This is fine if you want full manual control over spending.

If Auto-Refill Fails

The most common reason for a failed auto-refill is a declined card. This can happen if:

  • Your card expired
  • Insufficient funds on the card
  • Your bank flagged the charge as suspicious
  • The card was cancelled or replaced

To fix: Go to Settings → Payment Methods in your portal, update your card, and manually add funds to reconnect immediately.
