International Roaming:
You can roam outside of Belgium and can call any European country from anywhere in Europe with your Pay&Go SIM card. Contact us for rates.
Service Life:
A Pay&Go Belgium prepaid SIM card is valid for a year. Every time you reload it with an airtime voucher, the 365-day counter is reset to zero and it's once again operational for a full year.
If you don't reload within 365 days, your Pay&Go prepaid SIM card will be deactivated. This means that you will lose your phone number and any possible remaining credit. To continue to use the Pay&Go prepaid SIM card, you will have to start all over again by buying a new Pay&Go SIM card with a new phone number.
To check the expiry date yourself, dial #121# (also accessible from abroad), then press the Yes/Send/Call key (depending on the phone). You will receive a text message containing the information you want. It goes without saying that this service is completely free.
Another way of checking the expiry date is to call the freephone number 1711 from your GSM. Pay&Go will advise you of the precise amount of credit that you have left, and also the remaining period for making calls, as well as the last date for reloading your Pay&Go SIM card. Please note that, unlike #121#, this number cannot be called from abroad.
Coverage:
Cellular coverage in Belgium is excellent, far exceeding typical cellular coverage in the US.
