Transatel, the multi-country operator

Calling or being called abroad entails additional costs charged by the domestic operator. One solution is to do without the home operator when travelling. To take out a subscription outside your home country, you need to prove that you have a local place of residence for billing purposes, which is not always possible. Packages with no time commitment are still an option, but they are sometimes just as expensive as roaming, especially after the application of the European directive.

Another solution is to use a specialist operator such as Transatel. The idea is to open a line in several countries and then be billed by the minute without a flat rate, at a rate below the Brussels ceilings. That's between e0.1 and e0.22 plus a subscription of between e5 and e18 depending on call volumes. The disadvantage is that you use a different number in each country, and the offer is limited to Benelux-France.

And you have to juggle phones and chips, because the offer is not competitive in your home territory. But the solution is worth considering for frequent travellers, as all calls can be concentrated on a single terminal.
