From: r_z_aret on 1 Apr 2008 13:59 I'll be in Brussels for a week and would like to know my options for cell phone coverage. I have an HTC S730 (Quad-band GSM/ GPRS / EDGE plus 3G and HSDPA on 2100Mhz). My company pays for voice (not data) on T-Mobile here in the U.S. This trip will not be on company business, so they should not pay extra for phone coverage on this trip. I would like a week of unlimited voice and data (including use of cell phone as modem for my laptop). I would like to use my phone, with all its contact info. Can I rent a SIM with coverage for a week? ----------------------------------------- To reply to me, remove the underscores (_) from my email address (and please indicate which newsgroup and message).

Can I rent a SIM with coverage for a week? While you can certainly buy a prepaid SIM for a week's use, I doubt you'll find any "unlimited" use packages for voice or data. Check out http://www.prepaidgsm.net/en/belgium.html for a list of Belgian mobile operators, then click on the logos to get to their respective websites. (Prepaid GSM is a cool site, but the rates/tarrifs listed tend to get a bit stale with time- it's best to check out the operators current offers.) The carrier "Base" has a decent data offer as prepaid goes- 200MB of data for 10 Euros, and has the appropriate config settings right on their website. and easy to find. (More than I can say about most American prepaid mobile operators!)
