Telephone
The country dialling code is 32. For operator services dial 1324.
Mobile Telephone
There are three main mobile phone networks, all of them accessible with monthly subscription or pay-as-you-go formats:
Proximus is the most favoured provider. It offers several packages, from proxitime (minimal use) to proxipro (extensive use) and pay-as-you-go cards. Mobistar is linked to Orange. It offers monthly subscription packages and prepaid cards. Base offers monthly subscription packages and prepaid cards.

What's more, calls made between VoIP users are typically free all you pay for is the standard internet service.
Internet
There are three internet providers offering ADSL services: Versatel, La Tribu and Talessa. You will find it just as contemporary and widespread as the UK.
Post
Post offices are open from 0900 to 1200, and from 1400 to 1700 between Monday and Friday. Main city post offices have longer opening hours, including Saturdays.
