What are the rates for roaming?
As long as you're in the EU, the same rates as in Belgium apply - no extra costs! For more info, including outside of the EU, please visit the roaming page on our website. First choose the country and which type of SIM card you have (subscription, prepaid card or Only Data), and you will get an overview.
Are you traveling outside of the EU? In that case, you won't be able to surf 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.
How long will the installation take?
The installation takes 2 to 4 hours. Don't worry: your connection will only be interrupted for a few minutes so you'll notice it as little as possible!
Can I also get a TV subscription with Mobile Vikings?
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, VTM GO, GoPlay, 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.
I want to check if internet at home is available at my address, but I get an error message. What should I do?
We match your address with a database so the slightest difference can indeed result in an error. That processing of your address, by the way, is done 100% GDPR-proof.
If your address is new, it may still need to be created in our database. To do this, send an email to info@mobilevikings.be and attach the official documents on which the address is listed.
If your address is an existing address, try if these tips help:
- There is a letter in your house number: e.g. Kasteellaan 7A. You have to enter that "A" in the same field as the "7" --> "7A" all at once, in other words.
- You live in a borough: check whether you can select the borough instead of the municipality. E.g. "3910 Neerpelt" instead of "3900 Pelt".
If it still does not work, please contact our helpdesk. Your request will reach the appropriate team, they will take this further up for you. When doing so, please provide as many details as possible.
What can I stream? My Belgian channels too?
You can stream your favorite movies, series and programs à volonté. All you need is a comfy couch and a Smart TV or a casting device (e.g. Google Chromecast).
Nowadays, you can install your favorite streaming apps directly on your Smart TV or Chromecast. This allows you to watch your favorite programs with a ‘zapper’. The first time, you will need to log into those apps, but after that, you won't need any other device to stream your favorite shows to your TV. Easy peasy, right? 😉
Here are some options to stream your favorite programs:
Belgian channels
Create a free account with the channel and start streaming! For most channels, you can watch content both through the app and their website. Here's an overview:
- VRT MAX: Sporza, VRT 1, VRT Nieuws, Canvas, Ketnet and Ketnet Junior.
- VTM Go: VTM, VTM 2, VTM 3, VTM 4, Studio 100 and the free content of Streamz.
- Go Play: Play 4, Play 5, Play 6, Play 7 and Play Crime.
- Auvio: La Une, Tip!k, La Trois, Classic 21, La 1ère, VivaCité, Musiq3, Jam, Viva+, AB3, AB Explore, NRJ, ARTE, Bruzz and BRF.
- RTLPlay: RTL TVI, Plug RTL, RTL Club, Bel RTL and Radio Contact.
- AB3 and ABXplore
Customized subscriptions
For additional series and/or movies, you can subscribe to the services that suit you. This way, you only pay for what you really want to watch:
- Series and movies: Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV, .. .
- Sport: DAZN (Eleven Sports), F1 TV, NBA League Pass, …
- Gaming: Twitch, Steam, YouTube, …
Foreign channels
Foreign channels often block their content in certain geographic regions. To bypass this, you can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). This prevents the website/app from tracking your actual location, allowing you to view their content. Here's an overview:
- BBC: BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 and BBC4.
- NPO: NPO 1, NPO 2 and NPO 3.
- ZDF
- Discovery+ : TLC, Discovery+ Originals, Discovery Channel, Discovery Science, Animal Planet, Eurosport1, Eurosport 2, HGTV and Food Network.
- TF1
- France Télévisions: La 1ère, France2, France3, France4 and France5.
You can also stream some channels without using a VPN:
Who can use Viking Deals?
Every Viking with an active (mobile and/or internet at home) subscription or a prepaid SIM card and you don't need to sign up anywhere. 😉
Using Viking Deals is super easy:
- Surf to our Viking Deals page or check our app.
- Choose the partner where you want to shop.
- Click on the button ‘Shop now’ to earn Viking Points.
What does the law on compensation for network failures include?
As of 1 November 2024, users will be entitled to statutory compensation in the event of a full service interruption of more than 8 hours due to an uninterrupted network outage if the award conditions are met.
Who is eligible for this legal compensation?
- Users with an internet at home subscription in the event of a service interruption in the zone in which their installation address is located.
- Mobile subscription users in the event of an interruption in the zone where their invoicing address is located.
- Prepaid card users in the event of an interruption in the zone where their home address is located.
What type of interruption is eligible for automatic compensation?
The interruption of the fixed or mobile service:
- should last longer than 8 hours;
- should be complete, i.e. no signal must pass (even partially). So for mobile, no SMS, calls and no mobile data. For home internet, no data;
- should be due to an uninterrupted failure of the public electronic communications network (and not due to a technical problem beyond the termination point, such as a problem with the telephone, modem, terminal equipment, cabling, etc.);
- should have a collective element, i.e. impact multiple users (for mobile services and home internet, when the cause is not due to a hardware failure in the network);
- should not be due to or the fault of the user (e.g. suspension due to an unpaid invoice, a change made by the user, postponement of a repair appointment, etc.), nor due to a case of force majeure, lack of network coverage, etc. (non-exhaustive list).
If the eligibility requirements are met, does the statutory compensation happen automatically?
Because it is difficult to determine with certainty exactly which users are affected by an outage and because of the need to check the conditions of award, compensation is awarded automatically or not, depending on the case:
- Fixed service interruptions caused by a hardware failure in the fixed network will be compensated automatically (e.g. cable break due to the installer or one of its subcontractors) without the user having to report the outage.
- Fixed service interruptions not caused by a hardware failure in the fixed network will be compensated automatically if the user has reported the outage (e.g. software update problem), and provided that several users are affected by the same outage.
- Mobile service interruptions (subscriptions) will be compensated if the user has reported the outage, and provided that several users are affected by the same outage.
- Mobile service interruptions (prepaid cards) will be compensated only at the express request of the user, who must provide their home address, and provided that several users are affected by the same outage.
Customers will be able to notify outages and submit legal requests for compensation within 5 days following the end of the outage using the means that Mobile Vikings will make available for this purpose.
How much is the compensation and in what form is it granted?
- 1 euro for the 16-hour period following the first 8 hours of interruption. For each subsequent 24-hour period, the compensation for the previous day is increased by 1 euro, plus 0.5 euro for each additional day of interruption; or
- in the case of a subscription, 1/30th of the monthly subscription fee excluding VAT, if this amount exceeds the value of the compensation mentioned in the first point.
The compensation will consist of a credit note or discount, at Mobile Vikings' discretion, or a top-up of the user's prepaid card.
When is no legal compensation due?
No legal compensation is due (non-exhaustive list):
- in the event of acceptance by the user of a technical solution, even if this solution is temporary;
- if an appointment was rescheduled at the user's request or through the user's fault, for the period between the originally scheduled appointment and the new appointment;
- if the service interruption is not due to an incident (e.g. lack of network coverage);
- in the case of force majeure.
The current compensation scheme in Article XXXX of the General Terms and Conditions for users will be replaced by this new legal compensation scheme.
How do I avoid extra costs with a subscription when I am in a non-EU country?
Here are some tips on how to avoid extra costs:
- Limit the number of characters in your text message. For example, in your iPhone, you enable this via Settings → Message. The counter shows you when a text message is too long to send in one message.
- Have people call you instead of you calling them. Our roaming page will show you that an incoming call is usually much cheaper. And, the person calling you does not pay extra because you are in a non-EU country!
- You can of course use local Wifi as much as possible or use a local SIM card. Usually you can purchase them in airports.
- Deactivate your voicemail through your My Viking account. If someone leaves a message on your voicemail, the call minutes will still be charged, even if your phone is on airplane mode.
You can't use your mobile data bundle outside of the EU. We automatically block your mobile data to avoid unexpectedly high costs. Do you still want to surf outside the EU? You can! With the Global Data Pass you can use mobile data in many countries outside the European Union. Check all the details here.

What's the Viking Deal with Payconiq by Bancontact about?
In short: you link your Payconiq by Bancontact account(s) to your Mobile Vikings phone number(s) and earn Viking Points for payments made using the Payconiq by Bancontact app at your local merchant's shop that offers it.
In a slightly longer version:
How do you activate?
- Link your Payconiq by Bancontact account with that of Mobile Vikings in just 2 clicks. If you don't already have a Payconiq by Bancontact account, you can of course download the app (for iOS or Android at http://onelink.to/payconiqbybctweb), create your account with your Mobile Vikings phone number(s) and then link it.
- Pay with the Payconiq by Bancontact app at your local merchant's shop and earn up to 0.5 Viking Point per payment. This will immediately get you € 0.50 off your Mobile Vikings bill. HOT TIP: in the Payconiq by Bancontact app, under ‘Payments’ / ‘Shops’ you will find the shops in your area where you can pay with it.
Per calendar month and per linked phone number, your first payment with the Payconiq by Bancontact app is good for 0.5 Viking Point. With each subsequent payment, you earn 0.1 Viking Point, up to a maximum of 1 Viking Point per month per linked phone number. So you earn Viking Points each month for a maximum of 6 Payconiq by Bancontact payments per linked phone number.
You can only link phone numbers that you also use for Payconiq by Bancontact. This means you can link the Mobile Vikings phone numbers of anyone in your account. But what if you're using the Payconiq by Bancontact app with a non-Mobile Vikings number? WELL… TOO BAD THEN... No, just kidding. You can also use 1 non-Mobile Vikings number to benefit from this Viking Deal.
You'll only earn Viking Points in this Viking Deal for payments made using the Payconiq by Bancontact app at the shop of a local merchant offering it. At the bakery, for example, the supermarket or your favourite fries shop. Payments in webshops or between users are not eligible.
What if you want to unlink your account and stop this Viking Deal? Then contact our helpdesk. If you have your account unliked, this will happen immediately and you will no longer receive Viking Points for your transactions from earlier that day or the day before (if you haven't already received those).
Where can I best place my Wi-Fi boosters?
- B-box 3:
Do you have a B-box-3? If so, click on the ‘B-box3’ tab to see where it's best to place your Wi-Fi boosters.
- Internet Box:
Do you have an Internet Box? If so, click on the ‘Internet Box’ tab to see where it's best to place your Wi-Fi boosters.
- Internet Box+:
Do you have an Internet Box+? If so, click on the ‘Internet Box+’ tab to see where it's best to place your Wi-Fi boosters.
To place your Wi-Fi booster correctly and optimise your Wi-Fi in your home, take a few things into account:
- If you can only connect your Wi-Fi booster to your modem via Wi-Fi, any underfloor heating/the size of your house/insulation, or constructions in the floor and/or ceiling can reduce the range of your booster.
- We therefore strongly advise you to connect your Wi-Fi booster to your modem via a network cable. In some (newly built) houses, this cabling is present and available through outlets in the wall.
In other cases, it is advisable to order boosters that work via the electricity network (so-called powerlines) in order to guarantee a good internet connection in the entire house. Powerlines are available from a number of Viking Deal partners. That way, you also earn Viking Points!
Check here how to install your Wi-Fi boosters.
If you have an internal ethernet network at home, you can also connect the Wi-Fi booster to this via an ethernet cable to extend your Wi-Fi network or to connect a second device via the second port. Once you have turned on the Wi-Fi booster, the positioning light will turn blue. All done!
Check here how to install your Wi-Fi boosters.
To use your Wi-Fi booster in the best possible way, keep a few things in mind:
- Put it in the right place: ideally halfway between the Internet Box+ and the place where you want a better Wi-Fi signal.
- In a different room from the Internet Box+. There's no use placing the booster too close to your modem. Rather, place it in another room or on another floor if you have more than one.
- Make sure you have enough space: more than one meter from the ground, in an open space (e.g. on a piece of furniture) and preferably without too many obstacles between the modem and the booster (e.g. concrete walls, ceilings, closed doors, cabinets, mirrors, ...), because they can significantly weaken the Wi-Fi signal.
After installing your booster, check the positioning light:
- Is it green? Then everything is fine!
- Is it orange? Then it could be better... Try placing the Wi-Fi Booster+ closer to the Internet Box+.
- Is it red? Then the connection between the booster and your modem is really not good. Place the booster closer to your modem and make sure there are as few obstacles as possible, also place the Wi-Fi Booster+ in height.
If necessary, use several Wi-Fi Boosters+. Do you have more than one floor at home and it is difficult to find the right place? In this case, you can connect multiple Wi-Fi Boosters+. To do so, follow the installation guide as for the first booster, but place it in another room/ on another floor. After you have connected it, the positioning light will turn green.

Important tips for registering your online purchase via Viking Deals
-
Use Google Chrome: this browser works best with Viking Deals. You are free to use other popular browsers like Safari or Firefox, but keep in mind that these browsers may occasionally lose connection between Mobile Vikings and the partner, resulting in you not receiving Viking Points.
- Ensure that partners recognize you and adjust your browser settings accordingly: accept cookies from our partners and disable the 'Do Not Track' signal. Don't worry, neither we nor our partners store personal data. We only use essential information to deliver Viking Points to you. Chrome's settings are automatically correct unless you've adjusted them yourself.
-
Disable ad blockers: these can disrupt the connection with the partner, preventing you from receiving Viking Points.
-
Complete your purchase immediately after activating the Viking Deal: avoid visiting other websites during your purchase. Our partners will reward your Viking Points if you make the purchase via Mobile Vikings. Visiting other websites (blogs, comparison sites, or cashback sites) during your purchase may result in the partner paying the other website instead of you.
-
Always start your purchase through Viking Deals: some partners may not pay Viking Points if you already have items in your cart before activating the Viking Deal.
-
Use only the discount codes we share: using a discount code from another website or email may result in the other website being rewarded by the partner, and you will not receive Viking Points.
-
Most partners do not provide Viking Points for gift cards: neither for the purchase nor for the use of gift cards.
-
For certain products (e.g., medication), we may not distribute Viking Points: this is always clearly stated in the Viking Deal.
- Certain partners have specific special rules: for example, you may not earn Viking Points with a business account, or you may only receive Viking Points for your first purchase with the partner. This information is always clearly stated in the Viking Deal.
How can I get internet at home with Mobile Vikings?
You can do so via our website! Happy surfing. 🙂
First, we'll do a check on your address to see what kind of speeds we'd be able to offer and if Fiber is available. Unfortunately, if we see we can't offer a sufficient speed you won't be able to get our internet installed.
Once we've done the check, you can place your order and make an appointment for the installation. Usually, this can be done within two weeks. Make sure you enter the right number! The technician will contact you about half an hour before they arrive.
Once your installation is done, that's it!
How do I switch to Mobile Vikings from a different provider?
- You request your SIM card with a subscription or prepaid SIM card online. You also have the choice between an eSIM or a physical SIM card. A physical SIM card is delivered within 5 working days. You can activate an eSIM immediately after your order.
- Activate your Mobile Vikings SIM card after you receive it, and wait until your reception with your current provider falls off. That happens within 24 hours.
- If you have a physical SIM card, change your SIM card after your current carrier's network is lost. You can activate an eSIM immediately after your order.
A few nice-to-knows
Can I keep my number?
Sure, no problem! When you order your SIM card with a subscription or prepaid SIM card you can select 'Keep my number'. Unless you want a new number, which obviously is also possible.
Who cancels my current subscription?
We do that once you’re actively using the Mobile Vikings network. You don’t need to contact your current provider yourself.
Can people still reach me during my switch?
Absolutely. People can reach you via your old provider until you’re actively using the Mobile Vikings network. So there is no period in which you are unable to call, text, or use data.
What happens to my subscription at my current provider?
If you switch providers in the middle of the month, your previous provider will usually only charge you for your active period. But go ahead and contact your previous provider if you don’t want to pay the full amount of the invoice, because this calculation doesn’t always happen automatically.
What happens to my prepaid SIM card at my current provider?
In most cases, your bundles and calling credit will expire as soon as your switch to a Mobile Vikings subscription will be complete. Of course, you’re free to ask your current provider if you can only pay for your active usage. Go ahead and contact your current provider for more info.

How can I earn Viking points?
- Thanks to our Viking Deals: you shop online at one of our partners, and a part of your purchase amount will be paid back to you in Viking Points.
- By convincing your friends to become Vikings as well. If they fill in your number when signing up, you get 15 Viking Points after their second top-up/ subscription payment. These two payments have to be fully paid: (partial) payments using Viking Points don't count.
- Sometimes there are contests or promos which offer Viking Points as a reward.
What can I use those Viking Points for?
- Your Viking points are automatically used to pay your invoice/ charge. This way you have a hefty discount or even a bill of € 0.
- When you top up, you can choose whether or not to use your Viking Points.
- Do you have any Viking Points left over or are you in a generous mood? Share your Viking Points with friends or family. 😉 Find out how to share them here.

I can't log in. What do I do?
If you already have an account, you can log in via the website or the Mobile Vikings application. At the top right you will see the 'My Viking' button, where you can both log in and out.
You can log in using your email address or phone number. Does it not work with your email address? Then try logging in with your phone number, and vice versa. Make sure your device isn't automatically putting a capital letter at the start.
If both your number and email address don't work or you've forgotten your password, try changing your password. Didn't receive an email? Don't forget to take a look in your spam folder.
What happens if I don't pay my invoice or payment invitation of my mobile subscription on time?
Your Mobile Vikings invoice/payment invitation includes an expiration date. This is the date by which we expect your payment to be received in our bank account. If you are paying by bank transfer, it's therefore best to take a margin of about 3 working days into account. Especially if your expiry date is in or right after a weekend or a holiday. That way, you're sure your payment reaches us in time.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
Below is a brief overview of what happens if you do not pay your mobile subscription on time:
- You receive an invoice/payment invitation with an expiration date.
- A few days before your expiry date, you will receive a message from us alerting you to the unpaid invoice/payment invitation. It is then up to you to take quick action to still pay in time.
- Shortly after that expiry date, you will receive a first real reminder from us to remind you of your outstanding bill.
- You will receive a second reminder of your overdue payment if you have not yet paid your invoice/payment invitation. If you still don't pay, you risk a restriction of your services.
- If you have not paid your invoice/payment invitation within 2 weeks after the expiry date, your number will be put on minimum service. Concretely this means:
- You will only receive incoming text messages and calls.
- You will not be able to make outgoing calls or send text messages yourself.
- You can only make calls to emergency numbers.
- Data usage will be disabled.
- If you haven't paid your invoice/payment invitation yet, we will completely suspend all your services. In this case, you will also be unable to receive incoming calls and SMS messages.
Not the best of prospects, but no worries: we send you a text message and an e-mail notification in time to make sure it doesn't come to that. 😉
WHAT CAN I DO?
Stop worrying about your invoices in the future and activate a direct debit payment method through your My Viking account.
Always use the correct structured communication when paying by bank transfer. If this is wrong, it can take up to a week before we can manually process your payment.Do you have questions about your account statement, invoice, or current subscription? You can reach our helpdesk for free at the number 1976 during office hours, or via email at info@mobilevikings.be.

- If you don’t pay your invoice/payment invitation in this phase, your internet et home will be put on minimum service: you will only be able to surf at minimal speed. In concrete terms, this means back to the nineties for your browsing experience: you will no longer enjoy our superfast internet.
- If you haven't paid your invoice/payment invitation yet, we will completely suspend all your services.

What is the minimum service of an internet subscription and what can I do about it?
When you don’t pay your internet subscriptions in time, you will eventually be put on minimum service which will prevent you from using your services as before: you surf as fast as they did in the nineties, which is very slow.
Of course, these are not pleasant perspectives, but don't worry: we will always send you reminders by text and email in time, that way it doesn't have to get that far. 😉
What can you do about it?
We advise you to pay your invoice as soon as possible through your My Viking account:
- If you pay through an automatic payment method, your blocked services will be reinstated after 30 minutes.
- If you pay by bank transfer, please note that it takes 3 to 5 business days for such a payment to be processed in our system.

- Making sure you are connected to your Mobile Vikings network, go to http://192.168.1.1.
- Log in using the password that is printed on the back of your modem.
- Go to 'Network Connectivity'
- Click on the arrow under the sub menu Internet:
- Switch PPP enable slider to Disable and click.
- Done! Now you can connect a network cable from one of the LAN ports of your B-box 3 to your own router. The PPP configuration needs to be done on the authenticating device.
Would you like to set up bridge mode for your Internet Box? You can do this through your My Viking account. Open your product ‘Internet at home’ and open the ‘Network management’ tab > ‘Advanced settings’ > ‘Expert settings’ > ‘Routing’. Before you start you will have to confirm it’s you with your password and you're good to go. 😉
One more thing: make sure you use the MAC address of the WAN port of your own hardware that you want to connect in bridge mode.
