When can I switch tariffs with a prepaid SIM card?

Switching to another cell phone operator is free and can be requested at any time. With a prepaid card, there is no minimum contract duration. Keep in mind that you will lose your call credit, it is not transferred to another operator, nor can you set the transfer to take effect when your current call credit is used up.

What is a “topup bonus"?

When you top up again, you often receive a top-up bonus; this is a bundle with a lot of free calling minutes, texting and mobile data that you can use up for 30 or 31 days. After that first month, the free bundle usually expires, and you call or text at the rates per min/sms/mb. You can choose the amount you want to top up each month, and thus receive a different bonus.

Do I have to stop my subscription myself?

No, definitely do not! Let the new operator arrange this with the old provider. That way, you avoid problems because everything is done in the right order. Leave it to the pro!

What is the Fair Use Policy for unlimited calls?

Many SIM only deals offer the possibility of making 'unlimited' calls, sending text messages or using data. Usually, a Fair Use Policy is applied to this. The normal user will hardly ever be restrained by such an FUP. The only purpose of the FUP is to prevent gross abuse of the service. For example, you may not use this type of subscription to set up machine-to-machine communication services or run call centre-like activities. For that sort of thing, you are better off contracting other types of business subscriptions.

Can I keep my current telephone number?

Yes, you can transfer your current mobile number to the new operator free of charge. When you make your request, state your current customer number and the SIM card number, if any, and the new operator will arrange everything with the previous provider.

Do I have good network coverage in my home town?

Usually, you have good mobile phone reception everywhere in Belgium. 4G is available almost everywhere, or at least 3G reception. The BIPT makes a network coverage map available free of charge. View the map <a href="https://www.bipt-data.be/nl/projects/atlas/mobile" target="_blank">here</a>.
