Belgium – known for being the capital of the European Union (EU), but sometimes also called the Capital of Europe, its beers & its tasty, tasty chocolate.
It is also home to three official languages (Dutch, French & German – the latter unbeknownst to many).
But what can you do in Belgium, besides looking at political buildings (like the NATO headquarters)? A lot.
Bruges is a cozy medieval city with loads of history and old architecture.
Antwerp has the Diamond District with fun attractions.
Brussels, the capital city, has the Atomium, which is something you should experience once.
You can skip Manneken Pis – you will be disappointed (just like the Litte Mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark – both statues are small).
Or, you can enjoy the beach in Ostend.
Whatever you will be doing in Belgium, you will most likely share your experiences online.
Be aware that international roaming, using your main SIM card, can be expensive.
Luckily, local SIM cards, like a Belgian one, are an affordable way to stay connected when exploring countries.
You will be charged local rates, which are often lower than what you would pay back home.
So, how expensive are SIM cards in Belgium?
You can get a Belgian SIM card for 10 EUR (10.65 USD) from Proximus, BASE & Carrefour Mobile. Orange sells its SIM cards for 15 EUR (15.95 USD). Lycamobile and Vectone Mobile SIM cards can be obtained for free, but on-the-spot top-ups or plan purchases are often required. SIM cards are also sold at Brussels (Zaventem) Airport (BRU – through Sim Local).
Special note for those from Ukraine: be sure to ask about special benefits for Ukrainians. Many mobile operators around Europe have waived fees for you or introduced exclusive plans, including free calls back to Ukraine. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦
These prices are not crazy for countries in this region. In fact, they are average.
But those are just the SIM card prices. What about plans? Which SIM card is the best? What about coverage? Or any other questions you have?
I will answer them all for you today.
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Belgium. Let's go.

You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.
- Find out which countries have SIM card registration regulations and what is required from you (lookup tool)

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Belgium).
Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Belgium?
You can get a Belgian SIM card in Proximus, Orange, BASE & Carrefour stores. Resellers, like Carrefour (Express), also sell SIM cards (especially for the MVNOs). They are also sold at Brussels (Zaventem) Airport (BRU).
You can expect to pay the following for Belgian SIM cards:
- Proximus: 10 EUR
- Orange Belgium: 15 EUR
- BASE Belgium: 10 EUR
- Carrefour Mobile Belgium: 10 EUR
- Lycamobile Belgium: 10 EUR, 15 EUR & 20 EUR
- Vectone Mobile Belgium: 10 EUR, 15 EUR & 20 EUR
For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)

Can You Use Your Phone in Belgium?
Belgium uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Belgium. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).
Traditional European frequencies are used in Belgium, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Belgium.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Belgium or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Belgium (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE (and soon 5G NR).
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Belgium
Belgium has three mobile operators and three Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- Proximus
- Orange Belgium
- BASE Belgium (by Telenet)
- Carrefour Mobile Belgium (BASE MVNO)
- Lycamobile Belgium (BASE MVNO)
- Vectone Mobile Belgium (BASE MVNO)
The following frequencies are used in Belgium:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 2100 MHz (n1) & 3500 MHz (n78)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Belgium, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
A Note about MVNOs in Belgium
Belgium has many Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) operating in the country.
Most MVNOs offer services to postpaid customers only (travelers can only take advantage of prepaid offers) or are fully online-based, meaning that SIM cards can only be ordered and shipped to Belgian addresses.
Others only allow you to register SIM cards with the Belgian eID card.
Without it, the SIM card will be useless.
These MVNOs have not partnered up with other stores for physical registration.
Below are some MVNOs that are popular (when searched on the web or by asking locals) but should be avoided as a tourist because of restrictions or because they do not offer prepaid services:
- Ello Mobile
- JIM Mobile
- Mobile Vikings
- Scarlet
- Telenet
- Voo
There are many others MVNOs not mentioned above. However, if you had an enemy in Belgium, even they would not recommend them to you because they are so bad
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Belgium
Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Belgium. All Belgian mobile operators offer both services.
5G NR in Belgium
Commercial 5G NR has been available in Belgium since April 2020. It is available on the Proximus, Orange & BASE networks. None of the Belgian mobile operators offer 5G NR to prepaid customers. The MVNOs do not even have 5G NR access yet.
Best SIM Card in Belgium
Best eSIM in Belgium
Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM to prepaid customers in Belgium yet.
Note that the Belgium mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Belgium (without personal detail capturing), you can get the Belgium (Belganet) eSIM from Airalo with 1 GB of data for 7 days.

You have these five options:
- Belgium/Belganet 1 GB eSIM for 7 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Belgium/Belganet 2 GB eSIM for 7 days
- Belgium/Belganet 3 GB eSIM for 30 days
- Belgium/Belganet 5 GB eSIM for 30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
- Belgium/Belganet 20 GB eSIM for 30 days
The Airalo links will automatically get you the available Phone Travel Wiz exclusive offers – a code is unnecessary.
While I did not use the Belganet eSIM when I was in Belgium recently, I did use the Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Belgium (and ten other countries) instead.
- Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Belgium review (tested in Antwerp(en)).

Or you can get Belgium eSIMs from Nomad.


By the way, the 5 GB Nomad Belgium eSIM for 30 days is the most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers.
Use code ADU123 for the best deals available when getting Nomad eSIMs (on the site or their apps) and get 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off (even on top of current promotions)!
While I did not use the Nomad Belgium eSIM when I was in Belgium recently, I did use the Nomad Europe eSIM in Belgium (and seven other countries) instead.
So you may want to consider the Nomad Europe eSIM if you plan on visiting Belgium and at least one other European country.
- Check out my Nomad Europe eSIM in Belgium review (tested in Antwerp(en)).

Finally, you can get Belgium eSIMs from Holafly if you prefer unlimited data plans and do not mind paying a bit more for this advantage:
- Belgium unlimited data eSIM for 5 days
- Belgium unlimited data eSIM for 10 days
- Belgium unlimited data eSIM for 15 days

If you plan on visiting other neighboring European nations, consider the Eurolink eSIM (six variants: 1 GB/7 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers, 10 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 50 GB/90 days & 100 GB/180 days) in Belgium and these other countries:

1 on 3G only
2 (limited) 5G NR availability at no additional cost! (list updated in December 2022)
With the Eurolink eSIM, you can save a lot of money by skipping the initial SIM card costs per country you visit – averaging 10.78 USD/country in Europe (and get 5G NR access at no additional cost)!
- Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM in Belgium review (tested in Antwerp(en)).

Holafly and Nomad also have eSIMs covering all of the European Union (and more).
But honestly, the Eurolink eSIM is superior (but you can consider the Holafly Europe eSIM if you want unlimited data in 30+ countries – just do not forget about code PHONETRAVELWIZ if you go with Holafly).
Or if costs are of significant concern, get the Nomad Europe eSIM, which is the cheapest for up to 10 GB of data.
Remember to use code ADU123 for 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off!

SIM Card Registration in Belgium
SIM card registration with your passport information is mandatory in Belgium. It will often be done at the point of purchase.
- Find out which countries have SIM card registration regulations and what is required from you (lookup tool)

As of December 2016, newly issued prepaid SIM cards have to be registered in Belgium.
If you have a Belgian eID card, SIM cards can be registered easily and quickly online and only once.
If you have a Bancontact, a Belgian payment system, debit or credit card, registration can be done by topping up online. However, you will need to re-register every 18 months with this method.
As a traveler, however, it is improbable that you have such an identity card.
Luckily, registration can be done in the official stores of the mobile operators (Proximus, Orange Belgium & BASE Belgium).
Also, places like Carrefour, Mediamarkt & Relay can register with foreign passports (or IDs from EU/EEA visitors – but you may not have to purchase a Belgian SIM card because of free EU/EEA roaming).
But it can take up to a week before your registration is processed – this method is not recommended.
Do note that you are able to buy Belgium SIM cards from smaller resellers, like non-Relay kiosks (not Relay) or small shops.
Just like Relay, Carrefour, and Mediamarkt, registration through smaller resellers can take a long time.
Not all these shops can or will do registration for you, and they may give you a SIM card regardless of registration.
However, unregistered SIM cards will not work. You would still be required to visit the mobile operator's store or a store that can do registration for you.
In short, if you want a SIM card of one from the mobile operators, visit their stores, Carrefour, Mediamarkt, or Relay.
The same counts for the MVNOs, but then your only options are Carrefour, Mediamarkt, or Relay, or smaller shops that can do registration.
EU Roaming in Belgium

Belgium is part of the European Union (EU).
Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Belgium.
This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Belgian SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.
However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).
In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and the Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.
Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Belgium or if restrictions apply.
Roaming in the EU with Belgian SIM Cards
Belgium and the Belgian mobile operators have largely adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on.
However, some plans have an EU/EEA roaming cap.
Moreover, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.
If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply. You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.
Belgium Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights

Currency in Belgium
Belgium uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).
However, prices are often listed as just €. For example, 25 EUR = €25.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
- 10 EUR = 10.65 USD
- 100 EUR = 106.25 USD
For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.

BASE Belgium

BASE Belgium, just BASE, is the smallest mobile operator in Belgium.
It is a mobile operator by Telenet Belgium, which is, besides being a fixed broadband provider, also a mobile operator.
BASE used to be owned by KPN from the Netherlands until it was sold to Telenet in 2015.
While Telenet offers postpaid plans only, so does BASE – so I am not sure why they have not unified the brands yet.
Ah well, it is what it is – just do not go to a Telenet store to get a BASE SIM card. They cannot help you.
BASE uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)
- VoLTE: Yes
- VoWiFi: Yes
