Is there a charge to activate a Bcengi eSIM, and how long does it take?
There is no charge for activating your Bcengi eSIM; you only pay for data usage. Activation usually takes 5-10 seconds, and in some cases it can take up to a minute, depending on where you activate and your internet speed. An initial internet connection is needed for setup.
Does my phone need to be unlocked to use Bcengi?
Yes. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked to use a third-party eSIM like Bcengi. If you bought the phone through a carrier on a contract, contact that carrier to confirm it is unlocked before you purchase. Use WiFi or another mobile network during setup.
What happens if my phone does not support the Bcengi eSIM?
If your device does not support eSIM, Bcengi says it will help with a full refund as long as the eSIM was never activated. Most phones from 2019 onward support eSIM. Check the compatibility list at bcengi.com/travelpass/esim-compatibility before you purchase, and read the Refund Policy for how to request a refund.
Can I install the Bcengi eSIM before I travel?
Yes, and Bcengi recommends it. Install your eSIM while you still have WiFi at home. It will not use any data until you arrive at your destination and enable it, so you are ready to connect the moment you land. You do not need to reinstall it in each country.
Can I use one Bcengi eSIM on several devices?
No. Each Bcengi eSIM is linked to a single device. If you want to use Bcengi on other devices, you can purchase additional eSIMs for them. Bcengi is compatible with most eSIM-enabled devices, and the compatibility page lists which ones.
Will my phone number still work if I use Bcengi?
Bcengi is a data-only service. Your existing phone number remains functional if it is set up correctly with your carrier, on another eSIM. Bcengi therefore adds mobile data abroad and does not replace your number for calls or texts.
Is there a Bcengi app?
Yes. The Bcengi app is available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store and for Android on Google Play. In the app you can manage your eSIM and top up your balance. You can do the same from your account on the web at travel.bcengi.com.
How do I create a Bcengi account and how old must I be?
You must be at least 16 years old to create a Bcengi account. For the consumer TravelPass, registration requires only an email address. Bcengi signs you in with a one-time code sent to that address, or through Google or Apple. Under the age of majority, a parent or guardian must accept the Terms.
Why is my Bcengi voucher code not working?
Common reasons are an expired code, a minimum spend that has not been reached, or products that are excluded from the offer. Check the terms of the code or try another current offer on this page. Usually only one code can be used per order.
Bcengi: a reusable pay-as-you-go eSIM for travel abroad
Bcengi is a pay-as-you-go eSIM service for people who want mobile data in other countries without buying a new SIM card at every stop. It is a trading name of Dejitech, Inc., and its eSIM covers 200+ countries. A voucher code from save-up.co.uk makes the order cheaper when one is available.
This text describes Bcengi as its own pages present it, so you know what you are buying before you open a code.
One eSIM for every trip
The idea behind Bcengi is a single eSIM that you install once and keep on your phone. The shop describes it as global, reusable and without expiry, so the same eSIM serves every trip instead of a new plan for each one. Data is not sold in fixed bundles: you load a balance, and it is charged only for the data you use, at the rate of the country you are in.
- Install once, keep it on your phone
- Plans at local operator rates
- Pay as you go, per GB
- No fixed plans, no expiration
- One eSIM for all trips
Balances, rates and metering
The home page offers balances of $10, $25, $50 and $100, and states that the balance never expires. The rate depends on the country; the USA appears at $2.83 per GB as an example, and the pricing page lists all countries. Prices are shown per GB, but usage is metered per kilobyte, so 25 MB costs 25 MB. A data usage calculator on the home page helps you estimate daily use for social media, business meetings, streaming, games and instant messaging. The merchant shows its prices in dollars, so check the amount in your basket before you pay.
Setup, app and accounts
Bcengi describes setup as three steps that take about 5 minutes: sign up and add funds, scan the QR code to install the eSIM, and use it anywhere. The Bcengi app for iPhone and iPad and for Android lets you manage your eSIM and top up your balance, as does your account on the web.
Consumer accounts, called TravelPass, need only an email address, with a one-time code, Google or Apple sign-in. Bcengi also offers WorkPass for enterprises and AgentPass for resellers, which the Business & Partners menu points to.
