FAQ
Do I need to activate the eSIM before arriving in Belgium?
Yes, install the eSIM profile via QR code before you leave. This avoids needing Wi-Fi at the airport. The plan activates when your phone connects to a Belgian network after landing.
Which phones are compatible with a Belgium eSIM?
iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and many other recent models support eSIM. The phone must be unlocked — not restricted to a single carrier.
What do I need to do after landing in Belgium?
Enable data roaming in your phone's cellular settings for the eSIM line. The device will connect to a local network automatically. If it does not connect within a minute, toggle Airplane Mode off and on.
Which networks operate in Belgium and what coverage can I expect?
Belgium's main operators are Proximus, Orange, and Base. 4G LTE coverage is strong nationwide, including Brussels, Antwerp, and Ghent. Rural areas may have slightly weaker signal, but Belgium overall has excellent network coverage.
Does the eSIM include calls or SMS?
Most tourist eSIMs are data-only. Use VoIP apps like WhatsApp or Telegram for calls. Keep your physical SIM active alongside the eSIM if you need voice and text.
Can I get a refund if I do not use the eSIM?
Refunds are available only for unactivated eSIMs where the QR code has not been scanned. Once installed on a device, no refund is issued.
What if I run out of data during my trip?
Purchase a new eSIM plan from KodShop — the QR code arrives by email within seconds of payment. Install the new profile on your device using any available Wi-Fi connection.
