I am looking for two things mainly:

1) Mobile Broadband
Ive already puchased myself a ZTE unlocked dongle and am looking for a CHEAP data
sim card. Ive seen an offer by BASE for around 15euros a month with 750mb of data.
Ive also read on the internet about an offer from ALLORTL for 2gb of data for only 10 euros, BUT on their website it states that it is prohibited for use in a laptop, only for smartphones. If i were to use it for mobile broadband, could they do anything to me ??

2) Cheap international calls
I wont have access to a landline for the first few months, so would ideally need a cheap way to call (mainly Landlines) Bulgaria. Cheapest ive found is BASE with their pay as you go INTERNATIONAL at about 29eurocents a minute (very EXPENSIVE!).

Im afraid the cheapest option for me would be to just receive incoming roaming calls on my bulgarian sim card (charged at 14eurocents a minute)

I dont know french or dutch, so cant really read most of the sites for the MVNO operators!


Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Maybe this information is too late for you:

Now Mobile Vikings provides a much better plan. Here is the review I posted on my blog.

Mobile Vikings got itself quite some competition for it's €15 euro SMS+Internet package from Proximus: Belgacom Generation Connect - Ontdek het aanbod

It should be added that Base is Belgium's worst network while Proximus is Belgium's best, so it might be worth considering (although MV is still much cheaper for data-only).
