Hello.

What is recommended for phone coverage while in Europe. Specifically Belgium?

Have been told to purchase a SIM card from AMAZON but does anyone know which one has coverage for Belgium?

First...google best service for your needs. And make sure you meet the requirements for payment type. And make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible. 

Second....most airports have SIM cards in vending machines

If airport or close by restaurant has free wifi.....you are set.

You can always become a new Koodo or Telus POSTPAID member. Keep in mind that Prepaid services have limitations on the services offered and one of them is International roaming.

Belgium is not even covered in long distance add-on.

PM SIM will NOT work outside of NA continent and for US add-on is needed.

You will need to get local SIM or one of WiFi voip apps.

International calling from Canada to France, Germany, Spain, UK and Greece will work.


PM roaming only works in USA but not in Europe if you are travelling. Better to purchase a local SIM in Europe in this case.

I know the big carrier like fido, rogers, have signals while in other country, so far as I know public mobile cannot receive anything other than the States.
