    Epic combo

    Mobile

    A recent European decision prohibits the unlimited and free of charge use of certain applications. Therefore, from 01/09/2022, the unlimited surfing volume for your Epic apps (social networking, music and/or video apps, depending on your subscription) will be replaced by additional volume (GB depending on your plan) valid for all apps and all surfing. Don’t worry, thanks to this extra volume, your plan will have enough data to cover usual usage.

    Proximus is adjusting the rates of certain products on 01/01/2023. Find all the details on proximus.be/tarifs. The price increase for the Epic combo pack (Fiber) Full and Light is + €4. For this price, you still enjoy stable and fast internet (with or without fiber!), a great TV experience (TV for Full and Pickx web and app combo) and 20 MB of data with your mobile! More info on our advantageous Flex packages on proximus.be/monflex. Our current offer does not suit you anymore? You can cancel your subscription at any time via our customer service (by letter or by phone) or on proximus.be/cancel.

    Of course you can get a second SIM card! You can add a Mobilus plan, but it will not be part of your Epic combo pack. You can get a multi-mobile advantage by switching to a Flex subscription.

    Yep. If you need more data than the 20 GB in your bundle, you can buy 500 MB extra mobile data for just 5 euro. And it's valid for 31 days. This is easy to do, via the MyProximus app. The button to buy it will appear when you've almost used up your data. You can also activate it yourself, even if you yourself don't pay the bill - although, maybe you should check with the payer first ;-) 

    Your domestic rate plan is valid in the 27 EU countries (+ United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway...), once you've used up your 20GB you can buy 500 MB extra mobile data for just 5 euro. And it's valid for 31 days. This is easy to do, via the MyProximus app. The button to buy it will appear when you've almost used up your data.

    Geography not your strong point? Look up the EU countries before you leave. Take Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland and the Vatican City for example. You may think they're in the EU, but they're not! Also be careful if you get close to the border!

    Outside the EU, your stack of 20 GB is not valid. You'll then have to pay for each MB, call minute or text. The exact prices vary, depending on the country. Check out the prices on our website!

    1. First of all, a technician needs to come and install Epic combo in your home.
    2. Download the Proximus Pickx app in your App Store.
    3. Open the app while you're connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, etc.) in Belgium or the EU; if you're using Wi-Fi, the app may ask you to set your location to be sure that you are not on the other side of the world ;-)
    4. Log in with your MyProximus administrator account
      • If you have a MyProximus from before, dig it up! Can't find it anymore? Recover your login data now. You must be the administrator, however, so ask for the details of that person or become the administrator yourself
      • Don't have an account yet? Then create one! Click this link and follow the instructions!
        Once you've entered a few details, you have to "prove" that you are who you say you are ;-) Choose how you want to do this - using your bill or your mobile number. If you register with your bill, you'll immediately become the administrator of the account. If you choose the method via a mobile number, you'll become the administrator in a second step

    Problems logging in to the Proximus Pickx app? It might take up to 48h after the technician came by, before your account is activated, so you’ll need a little bit of patience.

    Once you can log in to the Netflix or Proximus Pickx app/web version it's easy to receive your programs on your TV as well, even without a decoder. There are several options:

    Smartphone --> TV
    • via Chromecast: a small device that you plug into your TV so that you can transfer the images from your smartphone to the TV with one click. Need more information?
    • via the specific streaming function of your Smart TV (the Proximus Pickx app doesn't come directly on your Smart TV but Netflix does, for example)
    Laptop --> TV

    A bit old school, but oh so reliable: run an HDMI cable from your laptop to your TV, and it's sorted!

    Sure you can. But, indeed, a parental control is set on the app by default! Luckily, we weren't so inventive with the security code, which is simply 1234. Want to remove or adapt this parental control? You can do this in the settings of the Proximus Pickx app. If you already set another PIN code for this and have forgotten it, call our helpful computer voice on 0800 99 696.

    Yes, if you already had a Netflix subscription with for example Tuttimus, Flex and you switch to Epic combo ‘light experience”, your Netflix subscription will simply continue to appear on your bill! Are you a new customer of Epic combo ‘light experience’? In that case, you can't have Netflix put on your Proximus bill and you'll have to choose another payment method! If you opt for Epic combo "full TV experience" this can simply be charged to your telecom bill.

    Generalities

    It’s easy! You just need to transfer your phone number from their account, to yours. You and your parents need to follow these steps and we’ll take care of everything.

    With the MyProximus app, you can check your usage, view and pay your bills, and you'll occasionally receive extras such as free data! Is the app acting weird? Remove and install it again - that should solve the problem. Download it now

    We respect your wishes. You can change your privacy settings (GDPR) via our MyProximus app.

    Apple TV

    Of course! If you have an Epic combo pack with Apple TV, you didn't get the usual set-top box, but you will still have a subscription.where you have access to more than 80 channels. If the Pickx app didn't come installed automatically, you can download it yourself from the integrated app store on your screen.

    With an Apple TV, you can also access these 80 channels via the Proximus Pickx app, live or in catch-up mode (36u) and you can record them.

    When you have an Epic combo pack with Apple TV, no regular decoder is supplied. However, in terms of functionalities there are almost no differences between an Apple TV and an Android TV Box. With both devices you have direct access to more than 80 channels via the Proximus Pickx app, live or in catch-up mode (36u). It’s possible to record programs or watch old recordings. Also, you can download all your favorite apps (Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, etc.) as there is an app store on your screen. You can operate the TV with the remote control or via voice instructions (Siri / Google Assistant). You can also swipe the content from your smartphone to the big screen. The main difference is in the look-and-feel and usage, comparable to an Android smartphone versus an Apple smartphone.

    A Google Chromecast connects to your TV via an HDMI cable, just like an Apple TV or an Android TV Box. This allows you to swipe/cast all content from your tablet or smartphone to the big screen. Both devices also allow you to operate the TV with your voice (with Google Assistant vs Siri) and both have versions that support 4K quality. 

    The big difference is that a Chromecast does not provide for an integrated app store to appear on your TV screen. So, you won't be able to download apps directly to your TV and will always need your smartphone. For gaming, too, you're better served with an Apple TV or an Android TV Box. 

    A synonym for 4K is "Ultra HD". This is a resolution of 3,840 by 2,160 pixels. So Ultra HD is a very high resolution, four times higher than "Full HD", which has a resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 pixels. So the bottom line is that you get to see more pixels and therefore more details on your TV. This sharper reproduction of images means a better movie experience. To be able to enjoy this you'll also need 4K content (movies/series), a 4K television and a good Internet connection (bandwidth of at least 23 Mbps). 

    High Dynamic Range (HDR) makes the colors brighter and more realistic. Moreover, you'll see a lot more details. From the latest movie to your favorite series, everything becomes more vivid than ever.

    Yes, certainly! You can easily buy them online or later via your MyProximus app. You'll then find the purchased options in your Pickx app.
    Two exceptions:

    • The "Adult" TV option can’t be watched on Apple TV due to Apple restrictions. This can only be done via a decoder!
    • It is not possible to buy a Netflix subscription via Proximus, unless you already have such a subscription running via your Proximus bill, in which case it can simply continue. You therefore have to buy a Netflix subscription through the Netflix website itself.

    "Airplay" makes it easy to swipe everything from your Apple devices to the big screen. This way you can move everything from your iPhone/iPad to your Apple TV with just one click. 
    Unfortunately, this is not automatically possible for Android smartphones, but you can install an extra app (e.g.  Mirroring360) that makes this kind of possible!

    Your recordings will be saved and can be watched via the website www.proximuspickx.beNew window and via the Pickx app. 

    Yes! You get one year free access to Apple TV+ when you purchase an Apple TV. This gives you access to all "Apple Original" series and movies such as The Morning Show, Little America and Oprah's Book Club. You can also watch many other pay-for movies and series. Payment is done through Apple, not Proximus. After one year, this service will cost €4.99/month, which you also pay to Apple, not Proximus. More information about the offer is available on: https://www.apple.com/benl/apple-tv-plus/New window

    Yes, Apple TV supports several controllers that connect wirelessly to your Apple TV. Now it also supports the PlayStation DualShock 4 and the Xbox Wireless Controller with Bluetooth. You can also use your own Apple devices as controllers. This will make your gaming experience even more intense!

    Epic videos, beats & stories

    A recent European decision prohibits the unlimited and free of charge use of certain applications.

Don’t worry, thanks to this extra volume, your plan will have enough data to cover usual usage.

    Of course! Imagine having to inform everyone you have a new number! ;-)

    Do you already have a Proximus SIM card? Then you don't need a new SIM card. A few hours after your purchase, you'll receive an activation text message, and you're good to go!

    Do you currently have a prepaid card or SIM card from another provider? No problem, we'll fix everything and you'll receive a new SIM card as quickly as possible, in the post or at a Proximus Center nearby. As soon as you receive the activation text message, you're good to go!

    You’re leaving the pack of your parents? It’s easy! You and your parents need to fill in this form and we take care of everything.

    With the MyProximus app, you can check your usage, view and pay your bills, and you'll occasionally receive extras such as free data! Is the app acting weird? Remove and install it again - that should solve the problem. Download it now.

    Within the 27 EU countries (+ United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) you can continue using your national price plan. The 13 or 15 GB you receive in your plan can be used in the EU, just like the calling minutes and unlimited texts. Once you've used up your 20GB you can buy 500 MB extra mobile data for just 5 euro. And it's valid for 31 days. This is easy to do, via the MyProximus app. The button to buy it will appear when you've almost used up your data.

    Geography not your strong point? Look up the EU countries before you leave. For example, you may think Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland and the Vatican City are in the EU, but they're not!

    Outside the EU your stack of 13/15 GB and your call minutes are not valid. You'll have to pay for each MB, call minute or text. The exact prices vary, depending on the country.

    Yep. If you need more data than your 13 or 15 GB in your bundle, you can buy 500 MB extra for just 5 euro. And it's valid for 31 days. You can activate it easily via the app. You can do this yourself, even when you’re not the one who pays the bill, but maybe ask the one who pays if it’s ok ;-)
