I can't call or text.

Worst-case scenario: you're unreachable. Friends can’t call you, you can’t text your partner. Time to activate the emergency plan!

  • Plan B

Don’t panic!

Have you tried turning it off and on again? A classic, but it often works!

No luck? Then check these most common causes:

Outstanding invoice

We limit your services if your bill hasn’t been paid. Check your My Viking account to see if you have an outstanding invoice.


Paid via the website? Your payment is processed immediately and your services will be active again within 30 minutes.

Paid via bank transfer? Processing your payment can take 3 to 5 working days.

Check your bundle

Are you sure you still have enough credit and call minutes in your bundle to call or text? You can easily check this in your My Viking account.

Are you currently abroad?

If you're abroad and experiencing network issues, you can switch networks. Need help switching? Visit the page below.

Network switch

Having trouble sending text messages?

Can’t send an SMS to a premium service? Check in your My Viking account if out-of-bundle costs are set to €0.

Go to your mobile number > product settings > manage services.

Plan B

Is your issue not listed above?

Check what else might be going on below.

You can easily test this by inserting your SIM card into another device.

  • Make sure your Mobile Vikings SIM card is set as the primary card for calls and SMS.

  • Check if there’s still an old SIM card or profile on your device and remove it, this should solve the problem.

  • Using a combination of eSIM and a physical SIM card? Try removing the physical SIM card.

Check if calling over mobile data is enabled, if you use this feature.

Did you just get a new SIM card and transfered your number to us?

It can take up to 72 hours before you are fully reachable on our network.

Can’t reach one specific person? They may have (accidentally) blocked you.

Also make sure the number is saved with +32 so you can reach it from abroad.

Making an international call

Calling from Belgium to a foreign number is not included in your Mobile Vikings bundle. You’ll be charged out-of-bundle costs, which may be set to €0. You can change this in your My Viking account.

Are you abroad? Then you can enable or disable certain services. Check this in your My Viking account: go to your mobile number > product settings > manage services.

Don’t forget to add the country code when calling an international number. For Belgium, that’s +32.
