Telecom
If you want a Belgian SIM-card for your mobile carrier (mobile phone, tablet,…) you can check out the telephone operators below. All of them have special offers, customized to your need. Belgian telecom tends to be a bit more expensive than in other, surrounding countries. If you are a EU-resident with a SIM-card from your home country, no roaming costs will be charged.
You should choose between a prepaid card (paid upfront) or a monthly subscription (charged at the end of the month).
It’s a legal requirement for all prepaid customers to identify themselves. This requirement will make it difficult to order a simcard online if you don't have a Belgian eID.
Always check the detailed conditions of your monthly subscription. You usualy receive a 'bundle' (e.g. 10GB and unlimited calls and texts for €15/month). Some usage (e.g. international calls) often isn’t included in your bundle. Usage outside of your bundle will be charged separately on your invoice or payment invitation. Don't forget to cancel your subscription when you leave.
You can use the price comparison tool made available by BIPT to compare the various providers' offers on the website www.besttariff.be.
