Going to Belgium for 6 months need help...

[kuba.g]

How much data will you need, exactly?

Going from low to high amount, these are the offers you will want to take a look at:
MEDIONmobile: 400MB for €4
JIM Mobile: 500MB for €5
Mobile Vikings: 2GB for €12

(all valid 1 month)


For calls to landlines Bulgaria you could look at Lyca Mobile: €0,13/minute.


Should you need a Belgian sim shipped to Bulgaria, let me know by pm

Jim is ok, Mobile Vikings is probably perfect. I checked their offers online, and from
what i gather (my french sucks) they are ONLY for use with mobile phones. Are you sure
i can use them for mobile data with my dongle on a laptop?

I would prefer to purchase one of those two cards BUT to use it both for a mobile (during most of the day)
and for data in the evenings (just to plug the sim in my dongle). Is that possible?


Nothing cheaper than Lyca mobile? anything around 4/5cents a minute ? I have spoken
with my provider, and they can offer me a roaming rate of 10eurocents a minute to receive
calls , so this may be the cheapest option

Thank you for your help!

In general - yes. I have used my JIM Mobile in my laptop several times, and I have a friend who uses his Mobile Vikings card for both mobile and laptop on daily basis.

Yeah, you can do that If you like you could also get two so you can use them simultaneously and avoid switching the sim cards back and fourth.

It is possible to negotiate prices with your operator in Bulgaria?

I would prefer to get one sim card as i hate having a lot of different cards. Once upon a time (check my last messages all the way back from 2005) i was obsessed with savings etc. so i went out with 5 phones.. Now i cant stand that!


I can to SOME extent negotiate prices. The reason is that my father is a big corporate client in Bulgaria and he has around 60 lines making 2500euro bills every month. Thats why the network does special deals for us, like free forever VPN calls, free on net calls , and all that for a 2.5euro a month line rental
