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.
