Handicapped users
Pages
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.
Premium calls & SMS
Pages
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.
Roaming
Pages
Roaming is when you use mobile phone services (calls, text messages and mobile internet) while travelling abroad: you call (or send an SMS or MMS) to a fixed or mobile number in the country where you are. Roaming should not be confused with international calls (calls made and SMS messages sent from Belgium to a foreign number) because, in the case of intra-EU calls, the tariffs may be higher than those for roaming within the EU.
International calls & SMS
Pages
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.
Jammers
Pages
In Belgium, it is not allowed for private persons to use or possess jammers.
Prepaid cards

Health / Environment
Pages
The control of the standard for antennas is the exclusive responsibility of the Regions; each Region has entrusted an administration with this control.
Emergency numbers and services
Pages
The telecoms operator must Allow you to call, free of charge, the emergency numbers 100, 101 and 112. Please note that this also applies in some cases when you call via the internet, for example via Skype Out. If you use other types of Internet telephony, you must check if you can call these emergency numbers. Allow you to send faxes, free of charge, to the emergency numbers 100, 101 and 112; Check that your location is communicated when you call 100, 101 or 112, so that rescue services directly know from where you call.
Postal points
Pages
How can I find the closest post-box and the last post-box clearance?

Pages
