(beware mobistar is a 1 year minimal subscription!) You don't have to pay 1 euro/day with mobile viking to keep your mobile phone online 24/24h 7d/7d...and you don't have to spend 15euro/month if you hardly call ;) just don't try to download a whole distribution over the air :-) but it's fast enough to look things up; answer your emails... people with telenet turboline can have free access to Telenet hotspots; people with Belgacom Go subscriptions can have several hours a month of free access to Belgacom hotspots
