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.

You can always monitor your usage in real time. So make sure to doublecheck this in your My Viking account.

Unfortunately, they don't. The Viking advantage, that allows Vikings to call and text each other free of charge, only works within the Belgian territory.

To listen to your voicemail while abroad, call +32 456 19 19 33. You’ll need your voicemail PIN for this. Within the European Zone, calling your voicemail is free. Outside the European Zone, you’ll pay the local rate for an outgoing call. You can find those rates on our roaming page.

Getting unexpected calls or texts from a foreign number? Don’t just call back, it could be Wangiri fraud.

This type of fraud involves automated calls to random numbers, so it doesn’t necessarily mean your number was leaked. Unfortunately, Mobile Vikings can’t block these numbers for you, but you can do it yourself via the settings on your Android or iOS device.
