Use a Belgium eSIM to stay connected
Belgium is known around the world as the “Diamond Capital of the World” for its extensive global diamond trade. This European destination is also famous for its castles, varieties of local beer, and, of course, its rich Belgian chocolates!
If you’re jetting off to Belgium anytime soon, you may be worried about staying connected with your loved ones back home. That’s where a Belgium eSIM can help! It will give your phone access to local data to stay online when there isn’t Wi-Fi availability.
How much travel data do I need with my Belgium eSIM?
How much travel data you may need in Belgium will depend on your activities once you step out of your hotel and lose access to Wi-Fi. While sightseeing, you may want to browse information online or upload pictures on any social media app, this will require data!
Luckily, with a Belgium eSIM, you will always have immediate access to data wherever you are! You can start with a basic data plan and add more if it’s needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Will I pay roaming charges with an eSIM for Belgium?
Not at all! When you’re using a Belgium eSIM for data, you’re telling your device NOT to “roam.” Your Belgium eSIM will connect your device to a local network, giving you prepaid data to use during your trip.
(Make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your Primary SIM to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill).
