Where your free eSIM works in Belgium

What to install before you land in Belgium

The eSIM gets you online — these are the local apps it unlocks the moment you arrive.

  • SNCB

    Official Belgian Railways app — IC, S-trains and Eurostar tickets; the Standard Multi pass is best for weekend hops.

  • STIB / De Lijn / TEC

    Three regional operators; STIB covers Brussels, De Lijn Flanders, TEC Wallonia. One MOBIB card covers all three.

  • Bolt / Uber

    Both operate in Brussels, Antwerp + Ghent. Bolt undercuts Uber on weekdays; Heetch is the local fallback after 1 AM.

  • Komoot

    Better than Google Maps for the Ardennes forest trails — pre-cache the region before remote hikes.

Local prepaid SIM vs. our free eSIM in Belgium

What you’d pay at the airport SIM kiosk — and what you save by activating the eSIM before you fly.

Local prepaid SIM
Proximus Tempo
€15· 10 GB
ID required — Belgium’s 2017 anti-terror law mandates passport ID scan at any Proximus / Orange / Base shop.

The shelf price is fine — the ID scan + 20-min queue at the airport shop is the real cost.

Free eSIM for Belgium FAQs by co:sim

Everything you need to know about the free new-user eSIM offer.

Does the eSIM work on the Brussels Metro?
Yes — STIB rolled out DAS on lines 1, 2, 5 and 6 by 2019. Line 2 (the ring) carries the strongest 4G signal.
Can I use it on the Eurostar to London?
Coverage holds up to Brussels-Midi and on departure. Expect ~20 min no signal inside the Channel Tunnel, then automatic reconnection on the UK side (also included).
Does it work in the Ardennes?
Main towns (Bouillon, La Roche, Spa, Durbuy) have solid Proximus 4G. Deep forest trails or the Semois gorges may go dark — download offline maps before remote hikes.
Will it stay connected on the De Kusttram coastal route?
Yes. The 68 km tram between De Panne and Knokke has full LTE end-to-end — useful for day trips from Bruges or Ostend.
Who's eligible for the free eSIM?
New users who have not previously claimed a free eSIM. Eligibility is verified at checkout.
Will I be charged anything?
$0 is charged for the free eSIM. A valid card is collected at checkout for verification only — this prevents the same person claiming multiple free eSIMs. You only pay if you choose to top up later.
How long is the free eSIM valid?
Install and activate the eSIM within 30 days after purchase. Once activated, the free plan is valid for 7 days from your first connection. After that, top up anytime to extend the validity — the same eSIM keeps working.
Can I top up or buy more data after?
Yes. Top up the same eSIM with any paid plan at any time — your data and validity extend instantly, no reinstall required. You can also buy plans for any of our 190+ other destinations.
Can I claim the free eSIM again?
No. This free eSIM is a new-user offer, so it can only be claimed once.
How does the free plan compare to paid plans?
Same high-quality network coverage. Paid plans offer more data and longer validity — and you can top up onto your free eSIM at any time.
