As soon as a payment method has been configured via My Viking, you can indicate the conditions to trigger the automatic top-up of your calling credit. Select one of the following:

• Minimum calling credit: your SIM card will be topped up automatically when your credit drops below e.g. € 5 or € 10.
• The expiry date of your bundle with Viking advantages, the free texts, and data: your SIM card will be topped up automatically a couple of hours before your free bundle expires (i.e. 1 calendar month after your last top-up).
• The minimum amount of mobile data: if you have almost no mobile data left, your SIM card will be topped up automatically within a couple of hours. Your automatic top-up will be triggered when your data credit drops below 100 MB.

If you have an old data-only SIM card (which means you top up for € 12), your automatic top-up will be triggered when your 2GB bundle expires. This type of SIM card is no longer available. 

You can do this by using an automatic payment method or you can pay manually via My Viking (website and app) by selecting one of the following payment methods:

• Bancontact
• Payconic by Bancontact App
• Mastercard or Visa
• Paypal: you can create a PayPal account via the Paypal website.

Good to know:  if you have used one of the above payment methods, your payment will be processed immediately. This will unblock any blocked services almost immediately.

It's not possible to receive a paper credit transfer with your paper invoice. To configure your direct debit, choose your automatic payment when selecting your subscription. If you prefer paying by bank transfer, keep in mind that it can take a few working days for your payment to be processed in our systems. In case you want to dispute your invoice/payment invitation, please mail the following information to info@mobilevikings.be: the number of your invoice/payment invitation and which costs exactly you dispute. Our helpdesk will take it from there.

If you pay your invoice or payment invitation online (using Bancontact, Visa, MasterCard, ...) the payment is processed within 10 minutes. When paying with bank transfer, it takes longer: up to five working days. 

You can request a SIM card for somebody in your family (your parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, siblings), for you husband/wife, your legal cohabitant or someone whose legal guardian you are.

You can identify yourself by doing your next payment with Bancontact, MasterCard, VISA, or PayPal. The law dictates this identification has to be repeated within 18 months following this first identification.

If you set up an automatic payment method or an SMS payment method with a foreign bank account, you won’t be able to activate a prepaid SIM card. Your first payment and the control payment after 18 months always have to be done with a Belgian payment method. For the other payments, you can use any payment method you want.

To check the status of your identification, go to My Viking.

You can always find your invoices/payment invitations in your My Viking account on the website and app. Of course, you will also receive them every month via e-mail at the e-mail address you linked to your Mobile Vikings account.

Yes, Roam Like at Home still applies within the United Kingdom. This means that you can use your SIM card in the UK as if you were still in Belgium, with no extra costs. 

The only exception? The Viking advantage. That's only valid within Belgium. You can check all rates via our roaming page. 

You can't order a SIM card without a Belgian payment method.

Because we’re not allowed to activate your SIM card until we’ve confirmed your identity (= validated all of your data and documents) by having you carry out a payment with a Belgian payment method. If we come across an error or an irregularity, we won’t be able to activate your SIM card.

To listen to your voicemail while in another country, call 0456191933. You will need your PIN code to access your voicemail. Forgot your PIN code? No problem: the options menu for your voicemail provides you with the option to send the code to you in a text message.

If you are within the European Union, you can call your voicemail for free. Outside of the EU, you pay the local rate for an outgoing call. You can view the rates on our roaming page. Because you don't have any calling credit with the Only Data-price plan, you can't consult your voicemail outside of the EU if this is your price plan. 

At the moment you cannot move your current internet at home installation/subscription to a new address. Would you like to apply for Unlimited fast internet at a new address? Then you need to request a new installation via our website. Once you have moved, you can stop your connection at your old address. You can do this via our website, in your My Viking account. You will eventually receive a pro-rata calculation of your last invoice.

We recommend sending your current modem and/or booster back to us. That way, we ensure a smooth installation at your new address, and you will also receive a brand new Internetbox modem.

As we would like to recycle and maybe even revive your modem and WiFi booster, please return them to us free of charge and within 2 weeks. Everything you need to do so, can be found in your My Viking account. There, you download a label to return your modem and WiFi booster(s) via bpost. This is possible at a bpost office or a bpost postal point.

Mobile Vikings does not offer a subscription to digital TV. Most of the content available via digital TV today can be easily watched online. Think VRT MAX, or the websites of most of the TV channels. For Eleven, streamz or Disney+ for example, you don't need digital TV anymore either. 😉 That's exactly why Mobile Vikings internet at home offers unlimited volumes: you surf, stream and game as you like.

Up to 27 GB there are no additional costs for the EU.

Your usage within Belgium isn't included in this 27 GB: only what you use outside of Belgium is. If you use more, every MB used in the EU will be charged at € 0,002/MB. If you use over 70 GB during your bundle period, both within Belgium and abroad, you'll be able to continue surfing at a reduced speed of 512 kbps.

Outside the EU, the normal roaming rates apply, and you can’t use your Unlimited data bundle. Do you really want to use mobile data outside the EU? That’s possible! With the Global Data Pass you can use mobile data in many countries outside the European Union. You can find all the details here.

At Mobile Vikings we block mobile data outside the EU to avoid unexpectedly high costs. This will avoid you, as a Viking, to unexpectedly receive a huge invoice/payment invitation for your subscription, or to instantly use all of your calling credit unaware.

Would you like to use mobile data outside the EU? That’s possible! With the Global Data Pass you can use mobile data in many countries outside the European Union. You can find all the details here.

Why do we block data outside the EU? Well, outside the EU you surf mobile at € 13/MB, which means you’ll instantly reach your maximum amount out of your subscription bundle (by default this is set at € 10 or less). If this happens, you’ll not only be unpleasantly surprised upon receiving your next invoice/payment invitation, you won’t be able to surf, make/receive calls or send/receive texts either. You see, when you reach your maximum out-of-bundle amount, we're obliged to stop all your services. With a prepaid SIM card, you use your calling credit to surf mobile outside the EU, and that too will exhaust instantly.

You can of course use local wi-fi as much as possible or use a local SIM card. You’ll usually find those at airports. Outside the EU you will be able to make/receive calls and send/receive texts. You’ll find the prices for this in detail on our roaming page.

If you have the €15 and €20 mobile subscriptions, 4G and 5G can reach speeds of up to 150 Mbps. With the €29 mobile subscription, 4G and 5G can reach speeds of 500 Mbps.

Wi-Fi boosters are available for rent at €3/month. For this, you have to consult your installer for the installation. If the 3 checks in your home show that boosters are appropriate, you can ask him/her to install them. They will appear on your invoice/payment invitation every month.

Has your installation already been completed and would you like to order a booster? Please contact our helpdesk and we will do the necessary. 

As long as you travel within the European Union and the United Kingdom, the same rates apply as in Belgium (roam like at home). This means that your bundles and rates apply as if you were still in Belgium. To check the rates, including outside of the EU, please visit the roaming page on our website.

You can't use your 70 data bundle outside of the EU. Outside of the EU mobile data is blocked to avoid unexpectedly high costs. Do you really want to use mobile data outside the EU? That’s possible! With the Global Data Pass you can use mobile data in many countries outside the European Union. You can find all the details here.

You can of course use local wi-fi as much as possible or use a local SIM card. You’ll usually find those at airports.

The speeds listed are expected maximum speeds. For Unlimited Fast Internet over VDSL, these speeds are up to 100 Mbps download, and up to 40 Mbps upload, for Unlimited Superfast Internet via fiber up to 1 Gbps download and 500 Mbps upload. We will not do an installation if we see that we cannot offer you at least a 40 Mbps download speed. 

What exactly can cause the actual speed to be lower? Several factors influence this. On the network side, for example, the distance between your house and the street cabinet, how many installations are connected to the same line, ... Furthermore, things such as wiring in your house, location of the modem, the power of the processor on your PC, the number of devices that use bandwidth, etc have an impact as well. You can compare it a bit with a highway: in principle, you can drive up to 120 km per hour, but the condition of the road surface, other cars, and what kind of car you have, ... can cause you to drive slower than 120 km per hour.

On every new installation, a so-called DLM profile is active. This stands for Dynamic Line Management, a  process that checks and tests your line for several weeks after activation. After a positive evaluation, depending on the test results, your line speed can be increased. Please note that the DLM process is fully automated. It is a dynamic process on the current VDSL network. As an operator, Mobile Vikings has no influence on this process. The DLM process keeps on monitoring and testing your line to guarantee a stable line and full quality.

Since the most recent iOS update, the voicemail button is no longer compatible with our voicemail. We are working on a solution!

Mobile Vikings uses the Proximus network for their SIM cards. You can check the coverage via our coverage map. 

No, you can't. The number you transfer to us, or the number you get when you order a new SIM card, cannot be changed. Do you still want a different number? Then order a new prepaid card or SIM card with subscription. Once it is active, you can terminate your old SIM card.

Please note: you cannot transfer credit and/or bundles to that new SIM card.

You’ll get your invoice on the 4th, the 12th, the 20th, or the 28th of each month.

To know on which of those 4 dates you’ll receive your invoice, look at when your bundle is renewed each month.

Example 
If your bundle is renewed on the 3rd of each month, you’ll get your invoice on the 4th of the month. If your bundle is renewed the 8th of each month, you’ll get your invoice on the 12th, ...

 LTE and 4G are usually used interchangeably, so if you see LTE on your mobile, you can assume that you are surfing via 4G. And vice-versa.

More details? In short: 4G is a network standard that enables a very fast mobile data connection. When 4G was launched, the speed needed to reach that standard was often too high. LTE, which stands for 'Long Term Evolution', is the technology developed to enable those 4G speeds. As that technology got closer to those speeds, the terms became increasingly interchangeable.
