| More Information and Resources |
Keeping in touch while in Belgium can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Belgium SIM card.
Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.
Belgium cellular phone rentals can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a Belgium cell phone rental can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.
Think you got a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
The Belgium prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world phone into a prepaid Belgium cell phone for Belgium and as discussed is more economical then a Belgium cell phone rental. For your next assignment or vacation in Belgium, this SIM chip (combined with an unlocked GSM World cell phone) helps you stay connected while avoiding those international roaming surcharges that always accompany your 'home' SIM card while abroad. We offer a growing selection of prepaid SIM Cards for other international destinations as well as a wide variety of GSM cell phone accessories and GSM international cell phones. |
