Our verdict
Mobile Vikings is a mobile virtual network operator running sim only plans on Proximus, with 5G, an eSIM and terms of 1 month. It suits readers who want a separate SIM, a short commitment and EU roaming included, and who are content to handle support through help centre.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Terms run 1 month at a time, so nothing ties a reader to a longer cycle.
- Billing covers rolling and prepaid, giving a rolling subscription or a prepaid bundle under one account.
- An eSIM can be issued and 5G is offered, so a new line can be activated digitally on current hardware.
- EU roaming is included, which covers travel across the region on the same plan.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so a reader who wants phone or live chat help has no listed route.
- The seller is a mobile virtual network operator (mvno) while GETESA and yesss! sell as networks (network, network), putting another company between the reader and Proximus.
- Every plan is sim only, so anyone wanting a handset alongside the tariff finds no bundle to compare.
- With terms on a 1 month cycle, the monthly figure has to be checked each renewal because no longer term is offered to fix it.
Who it suits
- Readers with a phone they are happy to keep, since every plan here is sim only.
- People who travel inside the EU, because roaming is included rather than a paid extra.
- Anyone who wants Proximus coverage and 5G without signing a long term, with terms on a 1 month cycle.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want a handset in the package: the range is sim only, so a phone retailer fits that better.
- Readers who want a person on the phone, because support runs on help centre only.
- Those who prefer buying from the network itself, as GETESA and yesss! sell as networks (network, network) rather than through a virtual network operator.
Core features
Mobile Vikings is a sim only seller, so nothing in the range bundles a handset and the tariff is data and voice on a SIM the reader already owns. Two additions widen the fit: 5G is offered on the host network, and an eSIM can be issued, which lets a line be activated and carried between devices without a plastic card. The feature set is narrow by design, with the network and the bundle doing the work rather than added extras.
The company behind it
The legal entity is Mobile Vikings nv, based in Belgium. Support is the thin spot, since it runs on help centre with no other route listed. For a virtual network operator the practical effect is that account changes, top ups and coverage questions are worked through self service answers rather than a conversation, so a reader comfortable reading online documentation will find the arrangement workable.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my own phone?+
Every plan in the listing is sim only, so the handset is yours and the tariff covers data and voice on a SIM you already have. Nothing bundles a device. Terms run 1 month at a time under rolling and prepaid, so the monthly amount is the figure to budget.
Does the plan work outside Belgium?+
The service runs on Proximus in Belgium, and EU roaming is included on the plan, so travel inside the region is covered without a separate roaming bundle. The listing prices the plan for use in Belgium, which makes heavy out-of-region use the case it is not built for.
What happens to the price when the term ends?+
Terms run 1 month at a time and billing is rolling and prepaid, so there is no long contract to renegotiate and the monthly figure is the one that continues. For a sense of what a post-contract step-up looks like elsewhere, the median post-contract price across the site is €43.
How do prices on the site line up?+
Across the listings, the median entry price is €9.30 and the lower quartile is €4.36, while the median price for unlimited plans is €23.19. Mobile Vikings sits in that same group of sim only offers, so the bundle chosen sets the monthly figure rather than the seller type.
Are 5G and eSIM available?+
Both are available. 5G is offered and an eSIM can be issued, so a line can be activated on a phone without a physical card and stay on the newest network generation. Across eSIM listings, 5G appears on 95.2% of plans, so this is close to the norm in this part of the market.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre only, so questions are handled through self service rather than a phone line or live chat. A help centre is the listed support route on 85.3% of plans here, putting Mobile Vikings with the majority pattern. Readers who need a person quickly should weigh that first.
Is this a network or a reseller?+
Mobile Vikings is a mobile virtual network operator, listed as mvno, and it uses Proximus for coverage. GETESA and yesss! sell as network and network, meaning the network itself is the seller. That structural difference is the main thing to weigh between the options.
Who is behind the brand?+
The company behind the plans is Mobile Vikings nv, registered in Belgium, and it operates as mvno on Proximus. The offer is narrow in scope: sim only lines, 5G, an eSIM, and billing under rolling and prepaid.
