WHY FIRSTY IN BELGIUM?
Same price as everywhere else Other eSIM apps charge more for Belgium than for Spain or Portugal, and lock their eSIM to one country. Firsty doesn't. From €0.98 per GB on Prepaid, and Unlimited day passes from €2.20/day on longer trips: the same as in Mexico, India, or Italy. One price, everywhere.
Buy data that never expires Most travel eSIMs make you buy GBs that expire in 7 or 30 days. With Firsty Prepaid, the GBs you buy stay on your account. Bought 10 GB and only used 3 in Brussels? The other 7 are still there for your next trip to Amsterdam, Lisbon, or anywhere else.

Where in Belgium does Firsty work?
Brussels: Full 4G/5G on Proximus, Orange, and Telenet. Metro and city center covered.
Antwerp: Full 4G/5G citywide, including the port and diamond district.
Ghent & Bruges: Full 4G/5G throughout both historic centers, even in the narrow canal streets.
Liège & Wallonia: Multi-network coverage across all major cities; Proximus strongest outside the centers.
Ardennes: Proximus provides the widest rural reach; signal can thin out in dense forest valleys.
Belgian Coast (Ostend, Knokke, De Haan): Full coverage year-round, including during peak summer crowds.
How much does an eSIM cost in Belgium?
The eSIM itself is usually free: hey! and UNDO, for example, don't charge for it. You pay for the data. With Firsty, travel data costs €4.50 for 1 GB up to €49 for 50 GB (€0.98/GB), and Unlimited costs €3/day for short trips, €2.20/day from 20 days, or €59 a month. Belgian monthly plans start at €6.50 for 15 GB.
How can I activate a travel eSIM for Belgium?
Connect to Wi-Fi, download the Firsty app, and activate your free Belgium eSIM before you fly. Once you land, upgrade to Classic or Unlimited in a few taps if you need more data.
Does eSIM for Belgium come with unlimited data?
Yes, with Firsty Unlimited: 5 GB a day at full speed, then 512 Kbps until your next day or top-up. It costs €3/day for 1–6 days, down to €2.20/day from 20 days, or €59 a month. Firsty Free isn't unlimited: you earn data by watching short ads, at up to 1 Mbps. Classic is pay-per-GB.
What's the best eSIM for Belgium?
It depends on your trip. Visiting for a few days, or travelling on to other countries? Firsty works well: start free, buy GBs from €0.98 that never expire, or go unlimited, and the same eSIM works in 176 countries. Staying weeks in Belgium only? A local prepaid like DIGI (15 GB for €5, Belgium only) is cheaper. Living here? Firsty's Belgian plans start at €6.50 a month.
Can I create a hotspot with my eSIM Belgium plan?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is available on the Unlimited plan, so you can share your Belgium eSIM connection with other devices.
Which Belgian operators offer eSIM?
Most of them. Proximus, Orange, Telenet and BASE all offer eSIM, and so do Scarlet, Mobile Vikings, hey!, DIGI, yoin, UNDO, Lycamobile and WVA Mobile, which is eSIM-only. VOO, Mega and Carrefour Mobile still use physical SIM cards. Firsty is eSIM-only, both for visitors and for Belgian plans.
What is an eSIM and how does it work?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone, so there's no plastic card to swap. See our full guide to how eSIM works for the details, or just download Firsty and activate your Belgium eSIM in under a minute.
Does my phone work with an eSIM?
Most phones from 2019 onwards do, including iPhone XS/XR and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. To check, dial *#06#: if you see a 32-digit EID, your phone supports eSIM. It also needs to be carrier-unlocked.
Can I get a Belgian phone number with a Firsty eSIM?
Yes, with a Firsty Belgian plan. Keep your own number or get a new +32 number, with unlimited calls and texts in Belgium. Choose 15 GB a month from €6.50, 100 GB from €15, or World from €25 with unlimited data in Belgium, the EU and 176 countries. It's the same app and the same eSIM you'd use abroad.
