Will it work on my phone?

On iPhone: Settings → General → About, and scroll to EID. If there is an EID, your phone takes eSIMs. Every iPhone from the XS (2018) onwards does.

On Android: Settings → About phone → Status, and look for EID. If there is an EID, your phone takes eSIMs. Most Galaxy S20, Pixel 3 and later do.

It also has to be carrier-unlocked. If you bought it outright or your contract is over, it almost certainly is.

Coverage

The networks you connect to in Belgium

  • Proximus 5G
  • Orange 4G
  • Base 4G

Your phone picks whichever of these has the best signal where you are, and switches on its own. Nothing to configure.

Work out my data

Belgium is in the European Union, so if you are travelling from another European country your own plan already covers data. This eSIM is for visitors arriving from outside the EU. There are three networks here, which is a lot for a country this size, but only one carries 5G: Proximus. Orange and Base appear as 4G. Your phone uses whichever has the better signal where you are.

Before you buy

Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp or the European quarter: which size

Most visitors see Belgium by train from a base in Brussels, with day trips there and back. A long weekend in Brussels with a day in Bruges or Ghent fits in the 3 GB pack, valid 15 days. A week of outings to Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Leuven, with timetables, maps and photos, is what the 5 GB for 30 days is for.

Work trips change the numbers. If you are in the European quarter for meetings and the laptop will run on your phone's hotspot, take 10 GB: a laptop syncing files and sitting in video calls uses far more than a phone. A weekend in the Ardennes, or a race weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, goes back to 3 GB.

Arriving at Zaventem, Charleroi or Brussels-Midi

Both main airports are in Belgium, so the pack starts as soon as you land: Brussels Airport, with its railway station under the terminal, and Charleroi, around an hour south of the capital by coach, where many low-cost flights arrive. Charleroi has no train at the airport, so the bus timetable is the first thing you will look up. Install the eSIM at home and turn it on after landing.

The Eurostar from London is the one arrival where a Belgium pack falls short. The train runs through England, the tunnel and northern France before it reaches Brussels-Midi, and this pack only starts once you are in Belgium. The Europe pack covers the United Kingdom, France and Belgium on the same eSIM.

Crossing borders?

One pack, 33 countries

Questions

Travelling to Belgium, answered

I am starting a traineeship of several months in Brussels. Is this the right option?

If your plan is from outside the EU, it is for the first weeks: the 20 GB pack lasts 30 days and gives you data while you sort out housing and a bank. For the whole traineeship a Belgian SIM with a monthly plan usually makes more sense, because it also gives you a local number.

Does the pack still work if I drive through the Ardennes into Luxembourg?

Only on the Belgian side. Bastogne and Arlon are a short drive from the border, and Luxembourg has its own pack. For a trip that covers both, the Europe pack saves you a second eSIM.

Will I notice being on 4G?

For maps, messaging and browsing, hardly at all: 4G is more than enough. It shows when uploading video or on large downloads, which is exactly what you tend not to do while travelling.

I am visiting Brussels and also Amsterdam or Paris. Does this pack work?

No, this one covers Belgium only. The 33-country Europe pack includes the Netherlands and France, and on a triangle that short it is the practical choice.

A person, not a call centre

Snoozim is run from Barcelona by Ibai Guirado Vera. It exists because paying for roaming by the day on a short trip made no sense. If something goes wrong with your eSIM you write, and the same person who built this answers you, within 24 hours.
