Are you planning on moving and do you want to move your Internet at home subscription with you? Then you can request an installation at your new address 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.

To finalize your order for internet at home, you book an appointment for the installation. After you have chosen your subscription, you book this appointment for the installation. It will be confirmed by e-mail, and you can manage it in your My Viking account on the website. 

Two working days prior to your installation, we will send a confirmation SMS to the number you have provided us: either to your number or that of the contact person who will be present during the installation. On the day of installation, our installer will call the same number 30 minutes in advance to confirm. And don’t forget: the installer is from Proximus, so no need to panic. 😉

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.

If you leave a Viking Clan or no longer meet the conditions with a specific phone number, this of course has some impact.

I leave a Viking Clan

• You were in a Viking Clan of 2 Vikings: unfortunately that means the end of this Clan. The other member will therefore no longer receive free extra mobile data through this Clan.

• You were in a Viking Clan of 3 Vikings: the remaining 2 members of this Viking Clan will receive a new Clan bundle of 2 GB after expiration of the actual 3 GB bundle. This will remain as long as this Clan continues to exist.

• You were in a Viking Clan of 4 Vikings: the remaining 3 members of this Viking Clan will receive a new Clan bundle of 3 GB after expiration of the actual 4 GB bundle. This will remain as long as this Clan continues to exist.

When you leave a clan, you will automatically receive a confirmation email. The other members of your clan will also be notified by email.

I no longer meet the requirements

To be a part of a Viking Clan, you must have an active mobile subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you will automatically leave the Viking Clan.

You will remain a member of a Viking Clan until, with the telephone number in question, you:

• Switch to a prepaid card
• Transfer that specific number to another operator
• Leave the Viking Clan

More details about the terms and conditions of a Viking Clan can be found here.

Are you traveling outside the EU? In this case, 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.

When traveling by boat on or by plane over international waters, you can reasonably assume your device will no longer connect to an antenna on the ground. Instead, it will connect to a satellite, which can quickly increase the cost.

Do you want to have an idea of those costs? Then be sure to check out the calculator on our roaming page and the country you would be calling.

Yes, an eSIM also has a "SIM card number".

iOS: you can find the SIM card number in the device in which the eSIM is used:

• Open ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ > 'About'
• The SIM card number is displayed the same as the ICCID number.

Android:

• Do you have a subscription? Your My Viking account number is a replacement for your SIM card number.
• Do you have a prepaid card? Please contact our helpdesk.

How can I activate a call forwarding?

Redirect either via the settings of your phone or by entering one of the following codes. Replace the number +32456191933 with the number you want to forward calls to when you enter these codes in your own phone.

How can I deactivate a call forwarding?

To cancel the redirect, form and call these codes: ##61#, ##62#, and ##67#. Please note that this will also deactivate your voicemail, and you'll have to reactivate it.

Good to know:

A diverted call from one Belgian Mobile Vikings number to another will be charged at the normal rate. If you redirect a call to a foreign number, the international rates apply. You can check them on our roaming page - choose 'Belgium' in the 'from' field. 

Has your phone been lost or stolen? You can request a new SIM card and block the old one via your My Viking account. You can also block your device. To do so, you need its IMEI-number which you can find on your invoice or its packaging. 

The IMEI number is a unique code for your device, composed of 15 digits. Are you using Dual SIM? Then you have two IMEI numbers: one for each SIM slot. With eSIM, the IMEI number works the same way as with a physical SIM card.

Your SIM card can be topped up via your account by clicking on the red button 'Top up SIM card' (displayed at the top of each page) or via 'Top-up' in the My Viking app. Use one of the following methods to top-up:

• Bancontact
• Mastercard or Visa
• Text: send a text with the message "SIM TOPUP" to 1984. Before you can do so, you must set up a payment method.
• Automatic top-up: top-up your SIM card automatically when the calling credit drops below a certain amount. Before you can do so, you must set up a payment method.
• Viking Points: top up your SIM card with Viking Points. 1 Viking Point equals € 1.

Using these payment methods the calling credit will be on your SIM card almost instantly.

Combining payment methods: Your Viking Points can be combined with another payment method to top up your SIM card. 

Check our other useful articles about topping up your SIM card.

What do you get when you top up?
With a top-up you will receive a bundle with advantages: unlimited texts, a data bundle and the Viking advantage (free calls to other Vikings). In addition, you will receive calling credit for the value that you recharged your prepaid SIM card.

The validity
Your advantage bundle (data, SMS and Viking advantage) have a validity of 1 month, starting from the moment you recharged. For example, if you top up on 8/05 at 12.35 am, your bundle will remain valid until 8/06 12.35 am. Your calling credit expires after 6 months. Use your call credit to make calls.

And my remaining calling credit?
If you have any calling credit left, it will automatically be transferred to the next month and added to your next top-up. 

What happens after a month?
If the month is over and you haven't topped up yet, you'll be calling, texting, and surfing out-of-bundle and the out-of-bundle rates will apply:

• Calling: € 0,20/min (more calls) or € 0,40/min (more data)
• SMS: € 0,10/sent SMS
• Data: € 0,10/MB

Are you abroad or do you want to call foreign numbers? Be sure to check our roaming page.

You can do this through your SIM card settings in your My Viking account. Request a new SIM card, follow the steps and your physical SIM card will be sent with Bpost. You should count on 3 to 5 business days to receive your SIM card. You will also receive an email with the necessary information. Replacing your SIM card is free of charge. 😉

You can submit a claim via your My Viking account, on the website and application. If you submit a claim, we will check it for you together with the partner. We can't promise anything, but if you still get Viking Points, we'll let you know.

After submitting your claim, you will receive a confirmation email. The average waiting period for processing your claim can be found in the confirmation email or in your My Viking account. Note that this is an average period. Because of, among other things, the exchange period it can take a while before our partners investigate such a claim. If you have been waiting much longer than the average period, and you still have not received any information regarding your claim, please contact our helpdesk.

You can use Easy Switch to switch to Mobile Vikings internet at home. Important note: we don't offer landlines nor a TV subscription. So keep in mind that these will be terminated with your current operator, or will be covered by a new contract if you transfer mobile numbers and/or a fixed internet connection to Mobile Vikings. We therefore strongly recommend that you check your options carefully with your current operator. 

You can of course close your order without using Easy Switch, and contact your current operator to cancel your services there.

If you choose to switch to Mobile Vikings via Easy Switch, we will make sure that (a part of) your current services with your current operator will be stopped and/or transferred to Mobile Vikings. You have two options with Easy Switch:

• Transfer internet at home to Mobile Vikings. In this case, your internet at home will automatically be stopped with your current operator. Any mobile numbers remain active with your current operator.
• Stop mobile numbers and transfer your fixed internet to Mobile Vikings. In this case, your specified numbers will be discontinued and your internet at home will be transferred to Mobile Vikings.

Are you ready to switch via Easy Switch? Check here how to do it.

Did your installation not go smoothly and did you use the Easy Switch option? Then you are entitled to compensation from 2/10/2023;

• If the installer does not show up on the agreed day and time. In that case, you are entitled to compensation of €30;
• In case of late activation of your Internet at Home subscription, you are entitled to compensation of €6 per day. This compensation has to be requested at your own request;
• Both compensations are settled via the first invoice (or credit note) or via payment into your account.

With just a few clicks on our website. There are three options:

Order your SIM card with subscription. Make your choice and follow the steps! 

Order your SIM card with subscription. Make your choice and follow the steps! Make sure you have the necessary information at hand about your current provider!

You do this via My Viking. You can choose to do so immediately, or when your calling credit reaches € 2.50 or less. In both cases, any bundles you have when you switch remain valid until their expiry date, and your remaining calling credit expires.

The law only allows adults to take out a subscription. Of course, an adult (a parent or the legal guardian) can take out a subscription that will actually be used by a minor. However, the adult still remains responsible for the agreement they entered into. Want to do this? Contact our helpdesk! 

To do so, you need to get in touch with our helpdesk. In order to cancel a subscription to internet at home of someone deceased, we do need an official death certificate. You can request this certificate from the local administration where the deceased was domiciled. Send us an email with the death certificate to info@mobilevikings.be.

Your Mobile Vikings invoice can be entered under the following headings:

• 61xxx Telephony (total amount excl. VAT)
• 411xx Reclaimable VAT (VAT amount of your invoice)
                      To 44xxx Supplier Mobile Vikings (total amount incl. VAT)
  The VAT deductibility shall be in accordance with the fiscal rules.

Your payment to Mobile Vikings will be recorded as follows:

• 44xxx Supplier Mobile Vikings (total amount)
                      To 55xxx financial institution (total amount)

Your Internet subscription will be activated after installation. The installer will take care of the connection, activation and testing of your Internet connection. As soon as your internet subscription is active, we will confirm this by e-mail. 

You can find your SIM card number in 2 ways.

• Find your SIM card number on your SIM card

If you remove the SIM card from your phone, you can read the series of numbers next to the gold-colored chip. Our SIM card numbers consist of 19 digits and start with 89323... by default.

• Find your SIM card number in your phone settings

For Vikings with an Android device:

1. Open the Google Play app and download “SIM Card” (free).
2. Open the app and go to the “Information” tab.
3. Your SIM card number is displayed under “SIM card serial number (ICCID)”.

For Vikings with an iPhone or other iOS devices:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
2. Select “General”, then “Info”.
3. The SIM card number is displayed the same as the ICCID number.

No problem! Bpost delivers your parcel to a safe place or to your neighbour in your absence. Be sure to inform Bpost about your preferences in advance via their website or app. Don't have a delivery preference set? Don't worry! The modem will be waiting for you at a Bpost collection point near you. Bpost will let you know by e-mail where exactly you can pick up your package. You can pick up your parcel during 14 calendar days at a collection point and during 5 days at a parcel locker. Don't forget to pick it up in time before Bpost returns the package to our address.

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.

An eSIM can logically only be used in a compatible phone. We can’t guarantee its functionality in other devices such as a tablet or router. Check this page to see if your phone supports an eSIM.

If you have a device that supports 4G and/or 5G and you are in a 4G/5G zone, the only question remaining is how to activate this. The settings can vary slightly, but the following steps apply to most devices:

• IOS: Settings > Mobile data > select "Enable 4G", "Enable 5G".
• Android: Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Network mode > select 5G, 4G, LTE or an automatic network selection.

Feel free to take a look at our configuration wizard. Here you will find various manuals, including how to set up and activate your mobile data.

If, despite configuring the correct settings and being in the right location, you are unable to activate mobile data, please contact our customer care team.

You can find your PIN and PUK code in your My Viking account. The default PIN code of your SIM card is 1111.

Why a PUK code?

If you have entered the PIN code incorrectly three times, your device will require your PUK code. You can now use the puk1 code. After entering this PUK code you choose a new PIN code.

Changing my PIN code

Do you want to change the PIN code? You can change it via the settings on your phone. If this function is not available, you can instead form and call the following code:

*04* [old PIN] * [new PIN] * [new PIN] #
or
**04* [old PIN] * [new PIN] * [new PIN] #

Depending on your device, only one * is required before the code. Would you like additional information about your PIN code? Then you can always consult this article.

To prevent abuse, you cannot link an account number to more than one Mobile Vikings account. But what if you still want to use the same account number for multiple accounts? Don't worry, there is a solution! Just give the account with payment method management rights over the SIM card in question. We explain how to do this below:

• Log in to the account without a payment method and go to your SIM card settings in My Viking. You can only do this once your SIM card is active.
• Choose Authorizations and then 'give someone authorization'.
• Enter the email address of the account with the payment method. Confirm with your password.
• Log in to the account with the payment method and accept the management rights for the SIM card.
• Go to your payment methods to link the new SIM card to your payment method.
• That's it! 🙂
