Very good experiences with this company. Good service and on top of that an app that is easy to use and informative. Been a happy customer for a long time with no issues whatsoever.

Hidden "Manual Cancellation” Traps

I am writing this to warn others about the disorganized and misleading billing practices at Ben. My experience has been a cycle of unauthorized charges, broken promises, and zero accountability.

The Issues:

- The "Manual Cancellation" Trap: I ordered what was clearly presented as a 1-month subscription. My account portal even confirmed a specific end date of 27-10-2025. Despite this, Ben continued to charge me, later claiming (only over the phone) that a "manual cancellation" was required—a requirement that was mentioned nowhere in my initial order confirmation.

- Broken Promises: When I called on Dec 29th, an agent admitted the error and promised a refund. I later found out from another agent that no notes were made in the system, and that promised refund never arrived.

- After you called to cancel, they will still put you on the service for one more month.

- No Documentation: They attempted to withdraw funds via direct debit without ever sending an invoice for January or February.

- Terrible Support: I received no response to my contact form for three weeks. When I finally called and stayed on the line for over an hour, I was simply told they would "reply to the form" with no actual promise of a resolution. Their internal record-keeping is a mess, and they expect the customer to pay for their incompetence.

Final Verdict: Avoid this company if you value your time and peace of mind.

Cyberattack

Just receive the email from Ben about the issue of the cyberattack.

Glad I no longer use this horrible provider after they left me without ANY service (yes, no calls, SMS, or internet) for days and didnt compensate me for anything!

Stay away from Ben!

Failed number transfer and impossible cancellation

I tried to transfer my existing number to BEN when activating an eSIM, but it failed.
Customer service then activated a new number without my consent.

I tried to cancel the contract online within the 14-day cooling-off period, but the cancellation form did not work and I received no confirmation.

When I contacted customer service later, I was told I could only cancel with a fee of 47€ or try the transfer again, even though the issues were caused by BEN.

I am now with two active numbers and paying two providers, still trying to solve it. Very poor experience.

Worst company ever

Worst company ever. Tried to contact them via the form on their website like 10 times. Multiple emails sent. Finally called them. Not much help tho. They can't tell if I'll get my money back. Haven't even open the envelope with simcard as I ordered something else. Can't send it back. Basically they send to you whatever they want and charge you for it, even tho you didn't order it. 0/0. Go for odido is much better and cheaper

Thank you for your feedback.
The watch that comes with your upgrade is part of a manufacturer promotion, not something Ben ships directly. You can claim it through the Samsung promotions website:

https://promotions.my-samsung.com/nl/find

Make sure you have your proof of purchase and any required details ready when submitting the claim.

The best telecoms firm in The Netherlands. Easy to switch between packages from the app. The app is superb in terms of clarity and user-friendliness.

Possibly the worst customer service

Possibly the worst customer service I have experienced.
I have been trying to contact them to cancel my contract, and they do not reply to emails or pick up calls. Every time I am on the waiting line for more than 30min and nothing... There is no other way to cancel an ongoing contract.

Very pathetic and non transparent costing. I had been charged 60 EUR for 15 MB of data while I was in India. I was not knowing this earlier. Also when I was in Swiss they charged me 50 EUR not on just one number but 3 numbers I am using from Ben. for whole year I had paid close to 300 EUR extra. I am now porting to other provider. and this is for Ben -> you lost 3 numbers which I am using in family going to other provider.

Thanks for sharing your experience,
I completely understand your frustration. Roaming costs outside the EU, like in India and Switzerland, can indeed be unexpectedly high if your device connects to a local network and uses data, even briefly.

Ben aims to be transparent about these costs, and all information about roaming charges per country is available on our website: ben.nl/buitenland

If you feel the charges were unfair or unclear, I strongly recommend contacting our customer service. They can absolutely look into your case and see if a compensation is possible especially if the usage was unintentional or unclear.

It saddens me to hear you’re switching providers, and i appreciate the time you’ve spent with me.

Ben.

No way to cancel a subsciption

This provider is okay until you decide to cancel your contract. Guess what, there is no official way to do it. There is no place in the mobile app where you can request a contract termination, and you need to log in to the website, where a form is well hidden and doesn't even work. I filled the form twice, I contacted the customer support 3 times, all this in a period of 3 months and my account is still active and I receive invoices for a service I stopped using months ago. I still try to figure out how to terminate my contract and its an outrageous process. I would avoid them from the beginning if I knew they work that way.
