Calling and surfing abroad at a low cost with roaming?

Do you want to surf, text, or call from abroad? That’s when you use roaming. Your phone connects to a local network. This way, you can keep calling, texting, and surfing while abroad, but at different rates. That way, you stay reachable no matter where you are in the world.

Roaming usually comes with extra costs because your provider uses foreign networks. The costs vary by country and by type of use (calls, texts, data).

Thanks to the European “Roam Like at Home” regulation, you don’t pay extra charges and don’t need a roaming option. You call and surf in all EU countries at the same rates as in Belgium, as long as you don’t exceed your bundle or plan.

Then different rates apply. BASE offers several roaming options to help you keep your roaming costs under control.

You can use this option in: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Morocco, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Ukraine, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, USA, South Africa + Jersey, Monaco, and Switzerland.

You pay for this option monthly via your invoice. Out of data? Then standard rates apply. Tip: set a usage limit via the My BASE app or My BASE to keep your roaming costs under control.

Within the EU you call at the same rates as in Belgium. From a country outside the EU rates vary per country. You can find the current prices with our handy tool on the website.

Of course, you can also call via apps (VoIP) such as WhatsApp or Messenger. These apps use data instead of traditional call minutes. It’s free if you’re on Wi-Fi. Without Wi-Fi, it’s best to activate an international roaming option.

Via My BASE or the My BASE app. Curious which options are available for the country you’re traveling to? Check them with our handy tool.
