Free use of radio
Pages
In order to use these communication systems without any interference a specific frequency needs to be assigned to each user; therefore, it is necessary to apply to BIPT for a licence. However, certain equipment is licence-exempt.
Handicapped users
Pages
It is important that persons with a handicap can be provided with electronic communications equipment adapted to their specific needs. The GARI database includes an overview of mobile apps and equipment (phones, tablets...) that makes electronic communications services more accessible to users with a handicap.
Premium calls & SMS
Pages
For certain phone or SMS numbers a premium charge applies. These are numbers which give access to information services, games or entertainment services, content of an erotic or sexual nature, and so on.
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.
International calls & SMS
Pages
We talk about international communications when you call (with your fixed or mobile telephone) or send an SMS message from Belgium, to a foreign destination. Beware! Do not confuse international communications with roaming, i.e. the use of your Belgian subscription/prepaid card when travelling abroad. This distinction is important because national tariffs are applicable to roaming in the EU (and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). This is not the case for international communications to EU Member States (and Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) the price of which is capped but higher than national tariffs.
Postal points
Pages
How can I find the closest post-box and the last post-box clearance?
Hunting
Pages
CB and PMR-446 radios can be used for hunting, without a licence; BIPT assigned 8 frequencies for hunting with a maximum power of 5 W for use throughout Belgium.
Radars
Pages
A radar is an installation made to search the surroundings for objects (targets) in the air, on land or at sea, by means of radio waves.
Quality
Pages
All postal service providers have to meet a number of minimum requirements, such as: compliance with the essential requirements. These are the conditions that are imposed to guarantee matters such as confidentiality of letter post, data protection, environmental protection, etc.; the ban to transport or deliver items carrying external elements clearly contrary to common decency or public order knowingly; implementation of an internal complaints procedure allowing a fair and swift treatment of complaints in a simple, transparent and not too expensive manner; providing information to users and personnel about the appeal procedure before the Office of the Ombudsman for the Postal Sector and appointing a competent person to represent the operator in his relations with the Office of the Ombudsman for the Postal Sector; identifying the persons in charge of the delivery of postal items to the public and ensuring that the postal items, with the exception of newspapers, bear a mark allowing the identification of the service provider that treated this item.
Checks / Interference
Pages
Radio interference can disrupt and render impossible the proper operation of transmitters and/or receivers. The NCS service of the BIPT (the National Spectrum Monitoring Department) is responsible for "policing the radio waves". Cases of interference can be reported by post, telephone, fax or e-mail. Interference occurring in telephones should first be reported to your telephone operator.
