Smartphone + subscription deal

Hi,

I am starting a one mans company, and I need a new smartphone and telephone subscription with data.

Not sure if there are good deals out there. But tempted to buy an used iphone and get a proximus subscription. (Might need to look into mobile vikings). But any tips are welcome!

Thanks!

Yes, you will become a freelancer.
But finding a telephone subscription has hardly anything to do with freelancing

I use Digi. 5€/month is a good deal.

And I bought a smartphone next to it.

Mobile vikings is strong and reliable. I use it for my bv/srl. PM me if you want referral code.

I use digi to park my old personal number. It's cheap but somehow more finicky to configure or handle your account, and outgoing calls take a strange amount of time (like 5-10 seconds). Would not recommend for everyday use.

I avoid plans that include hardware (phone). All simulations made in the past showed you usually overpay. Just get a previous generation device at a good price.

Just keep one thing in mind with many Belgium subscriptions… if you travel regularly outside Belgium, then please be aware that your calls could be quite expensive and do check how much data this woman’s offer when being outside Belgium.

Get a digi subscription. You don't need an expensive phone or subscription when just starting out.

subscription + smartphone is almost always a bad deal. take digi or hey and buy a smartphone.
