Worry-free holidaying thanks to Mobile Vikings. ✈️
Within the EU, the same rates apply as in Belgium, so no extra roaming costs! Do you have a €15 or €20 subscription? In that case you can use up to 20 GB or 30 GB of data outside Belgium (within the EU).
Do you have an unlimited subscription, like Unlimited Basic or Unlimited Fast? Then you also enjoy a generous EU data bundle: up to 30 GB with Unlimited Basic and up to 50 GB with Unlimited Fast.
To make sure you don’t face any unexpected high costs, we automatically block the use of mobile data outside the EU.
Do you want to surf mobile outside the EU? Well, you can! With the Global Data Pass, you can use mobile data in many countries outside the European Union.
Check the applicable rates based on your destination.
Heads up!
Are you in a border area of the EU or traveling by ferry, cruise ship, or plane? Then your phone, without you realizing, might connect to a more expensive network. We recommend always turning off data roaming on a ship or in a plane. That way, even if you connect to Wi-Fi, your phone won’t accidentally switch to an expensive satellite connection.
In the guide below, select your device and follow the steps to turn data roaming on or off.
Roaming issues? Here's how you get back on track!
Calls or texts not going through? No worries, we'll transfer you.
Outside the EU, we block mobile data so you don't bump into unpleasant surprises. Still want to go online? Thanks to the Global Data Pass you can, in loads of countries outside the EU. Your pass is valid for one calendar month from the moment you activate it.
A few extra tips - free of charge!
Check the number of characters in your text messages. On your iPhone, for example, you can turn this on via Settings > Messages. The counter helps you avoid messages that are too long to send in one single SMS.
Have others call you instead of the other way around! On our roaming page, you’ll see that receiving calls is usually cheaper. On top of that: the person calling you doesn’t pay any extra? Yep, even when you're outside the EU.
Make the most of local Wi-Fi or buy a local SIM card at your destination. You’ll often find them at airports.
Because we're legally required to send you an SMS about the applicable rates, you can’t turn this off completely.
What can you do? If you text ‘STOP’ to 1957, you won’t receive any more messages while you’re abroad. Once you're back in Belgium and travel abroad again, all notifications will be switched back on automatically. You can always find the rates on our roaming page.
