Category breakdown for Belgium.
Coverage
Airalo wins the coverage category for Belgium with a score of 9.6/10. Airalo connects to Proximus and Orange BE in Belgium, part of a 3-network partner roster. Belgium operates on 5G technology at roughly 75 Mbps. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Belgium. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.6/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.
Pricing
Airalo wins the pricing category for Belgium with a score of 8.7/10. Plans for Belgium start at $0.74/GB through Airalo, one of the lowest per-GB rates globally. Available tiers: 1GB: $2.21, 3GB: $3.47, 5GB: $5.24, 10GB: $8.06, 20GB: $14.76. Unlimited daily plans are available from approximately $2.62/day. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 8.7/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Belgium's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.
Speed
Airalo wins the speed category for Belgium with a score of 9.1/10. Average download speeds in Belgium reach 75 Mbps. Speed performance tracks the local carrier infrastructure. Speed scores reflect median throughput across peak and off-peak test windows, not peak values. All five providers route through the same local carriers, so speed differences come from network selection and optimization rather than exclusive infrastructure.
App

Support

Airalo leads on response time and first-contact resolution rate. Emergency services in Belgium are reached at 112; this is separate from provider support but relevant context for travelers. Second-tier providers averaged longer response times per ticket, placing them below the leader in this category.
