It is important that persons with a handicap can be provided with electronic communications equipment adapted to their specific needs. The GARI database includes an overview of mobile apps and equipment (phones, tablets...) that makes electronic communications services more accessible to users with a handicap.

For certain phone or SMS numbers a premium charge applies. These are numbers which give access to information services, games or entertainment services, content of an erotic or sexual nature, and so on.

We talk about international communications when you call (with your fixed or mobile telephone) or send an SMS message from Belgium, to a foreign destination. Beware! Do not confuse international communications with roaming, i.e. the use of your Belgian subscription/prepaid card when travelling abroad. This distinction is important because national tariffs are applicable to roaming in the EU (and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). This is not the case for international communications to EU Member States (and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) the price of which is capped but higher than national tariffs.

In Belgium, it is not allowed for private persons to use or possess jammers.

A radar is an installation made to search the surroundings for objects (targets) in the air, on land or at sea, by means of radio waves.

Any device which can emit and/or receive radio waves is a radio equipment. The legislation provides that radio equipment placed on the market (marketed) must comply with essential requirements: BIPT is tasked with the monitoring of the radio equipment marketed in Belgium. Market monitoring protects the consumer, contributes to fair competition and prevents the marketing of devices that may pose a risk to the population and/or cause harmful interference. additional restrictions may apply to radio equipment in a number of EU Member States.

Radio interference can disrupt and render impossible the proper operation of transmitters and/or receivers. The NCS service of the BIPT (the National Spectrum Monitoring Department) is responsible for "policing the radio waves". Cases of interference can be reported by post, telephone, fax or e-mail. Interference occurring in telephones should first be reported to your telephone operator.
