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

I can't make any recommendation for mobile broadband but for voice calling I'd recommend OneSuite which is a prepaid "pay as you go" long distance service.

Rates from Belgium to Bulgaria are basically 7¢/minute to call Bulgarian land lines and approximately 10¢/minute to call mobile numbers.

On OneSuite's rates page you can see the whole chart. You can get the rate from Belgium to most any country. All you need to do is to buy a block of time for minimum of US$10. Expiration date of minutes keeps getting farther away the more often you use the service. There's toll-free "freephone" access of the service from Belgium and several other countries as well.

I have looked into it. Thank you for the information
