What can I do with 5 GB of mobile data?

Mobile Essential is a mobile plan with limited mobile data. If you use your mobile internet moderately, this inexpensive 5 GB mobile data plan will allow you to be active for 1 to 1.5 hours a day, as long as you vary between social media, video, music streaming, and surfing. For intensive streaming or long YouTube videos, it is advisable to switch to Wi-Fi where possible.

Do you only use your mobile data for one activity? Then with 5 GB per day, you can do one of the following activities:

  • 3.5 hours on social media
  • 1 hour watching YouTube
  • 1 hour listening to Spotify or another music streaming app
  • 2.5 hours of mobile surfing

Good to know: these are average times. Your actual data usage depends on your device, settings such as video quality, and the type of activity for which you use mobile internet.

Keep your mobile budget under control

With the free Full Control option, you keep your budget under control and avoid surprises:

  • Usage not included in your subscription is blocked: With Full Control you never exceed your budget and you block extra usage (special numbers, international calls, roaming outside the EU, …).
  • Real-time tracking: With the Proximus+ app you can check your usage anytime in real time.

You can easily activate the free Full Control option during the configuration phase of your subscription.

A classic mobile plan without Full Control lets you call, text, and surf freely in Belgium and the EU. If you use more than what’s included or travel outside the EU, you may exceed your bundle. You’ll then be billed at out-of-bundle rates. You can track your usage in Proximus+ or via SMS alerts.

Choose a mobile plan with the free Full Control option and never exceed your monthly budget. Any usage outside your bundle is blocked. You can still call and text without limits. No surprises on your bill.

Full Control helps you avoid extra costs for services like premium numbers (0900, …), international calls, roaming (outside the EU), and third-party services.

Discover Full Control mobile subscriptions

Mobile subscriptions are valid in Belgium and in the EU Zone. Read the roaming page for more information about rates outside the EU Zone.

If your mobile data isn’t enough, we recommend switching to a plan with more data or a mobile subscription in a pack.
