eSIM for Belgium
Covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
What the network is actually like
Small, flat and heavily urbanised, which leaves very little room for a coverage gap. 5G rollout lagged neighbours for regulatory reasons but 4G is everywhere.
Networks: Proximus, Orange, BASE
How much data you'll need
5GB for a week of the usual. If you're calling home most evenings, take the 10 instead.
