My operator has been granted a derogation regarding roaming. What does that mean?
Operators have the right to submit an application to BIPT to receive a derogation allowing them to apply roaming surcharges in the European Union (and associated countries: Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein).
Currently no Belgian operator has been granted such a derogation.
Surcharges applied pursuant to such a derogation may not exceed the following amounts:
| What you do | How much you pay (VAT included) |
|---|---|
| You call | Maximum 3.8 eurocents per call minute on top of the domestic tariff |
| You receive a call | Maximum 0.94 eurocent per call minute |
| You send an SMS | Maximum 1.2 eurocent per SMS on top of the domestic tariff |
| You receive an SMS | No surcharge possible |
| You surf the Internet | Maximum 0.34 eurocent per megabyte on top of the domestic tariff |
