Twenty-five euros for unlimited data: on paper, Mobile Vikings' Unlimited Basic is the cheapest unlimited-data plan in Belgium. That's true, and it's also half the story. The other half hides in a figure the sales pages print small: 50 Mbps. At this price, unlimited exists in volume, but the speed is kept on a leash.
As always on the Belgian market, two questions hide behind a single label. What you get depends on the network — here Orange. What you pay depends on the brand — here an MVNO that rents those antennas and resells them cheaper than the operator that owns them. The €25 unlimited is judged at the intersection of the two.
What is Mobile Vikings' €25 unlimited really worth?
It's the cheapest unlimited-volume plan in the country, provided you accept a speed capped at 50 Mbps. Unlimited Basic at €25 per month includes unlimited calls and texts, unlimited data in Belgium within a 300 GB monthly fair-use limit, and 35 GB usable in the European Union. The price comes at a cost in speed: 50 Mbps ceiling, all the time.
It isn't a trap, it's a trade-off. 50 Mbps is enough for HD streaming, browsing, social media, video calls. It struggles with large file downloads, cloud gaming, or tethering to a computer that pulls hard. Mobile Vikings was the first Belgian operator to split its unlimited by speed rather than by volume — an honest way of saying that fast unlimited costs more.
Why does "unlimited" at €25 not mean "fast"?
Because Mobile Vikings sells speed separately. Unlimited Basic at €25 caps at 50 Mbps; Unlimited Fast at €30 climbs to 500 Mbps and doubles the included EU roaming, to 50 GB. Five euros separate the two, and those five euros buy just one thing: throughput.
The gap deserves a pause, because it changes the maths. If you take unlimited to watch series and scroll, the Basic at €25 does the job and 50 Mbps will never bother you. If you take it to replace your fixed connection or share 5G with a demanding work setup, the Basic will frustrate you, and the €30 Fast is the one to aim for. Paying €25 for an unlimited plan you throttle yourself in practice makes no sense.
Which network does Mobile Vikings use?
The Orange network. Mobile Vikings' 5G coverage and speeds are exactly Orange's, no better and no worse: that's the definition of an MVNO. The IBPT measurements give Orange around 52% outdoor 5G coverage, around 31% indoors, and speeds up to 94.5 Mbps.
One detail matters here. The Orange network peaks at 94.5 Mbps in the IBPT measurements, but Unlimited Basic is capped at 50 Mbps by Mobile Vikings anyway. In other words, on the Basic you'll never see the network's ceiling: the brand limits you before the antennas do. On Unlimited Fast, the ceiling becomes Orange's again. Coverage, though, stays the same in both cases — it's your address that decides, not the plan.
€25 at Mobile Vikings, TADAAM or hey!: which gives the most?
Three plans at €25, three networks and three different limits. The identical price hides products that have little in common once you read the conditions.
Mobile Vikings Unlimited Basic (Orange network) gives unlimited data capped at 50 Mbps, with the option to browse outside the EU via a roaming pass. TADAAM Illimité (Telenet network) also gives unlimited at €25, but doesn't work at all outside the European Union — worth weighing if you travel. hey! Telecom, at €25 (Orange network), doesn't play the unlimited card but a very large capped volume, without visual voicemail or non-EU browsing. The tiebreaker isn't the price, which is identical, but the network that carries best where you live and travel.
Is €25 unlimited cheaper than Orange and Proximus?
Much cheaper. Mobile Vikings sells unlimited at €25 (Basic) or €30 (Fast) on the Orange network, while Orange charges around €40 for its own unlimited and Proximus around €49.99. On the same antennas as Orange, the €30 Unlimited Fast stays €10 below the operator's unlimited, for a speed that climbs to 500 Mbps.
This is the heart of the MVNO model, and unlimited illustrates it better than any capped tier. An Orange unlimited subscriber and a Mobile Vikings Unlimited Fast subscriber use the same network, with the same 5G coverage. The price gap doesn't buy signal: it buys a shop, customer service and a brand. It's up to you to say whether those €10 to €15 a month are worth the comfort of a network operator.
Do you really need unlimited, or is 50 GB enough?
For most people, 50 to 60 GB is enough and costs less than unlimited. On the Orange network, hey! Telecom sells 50 GB for €14, €11 below Unlimited Basic for a volume most subscribers never exhaust. Unlimited only makes sense in one specific case: when the phone replaces a fixed connection.
Daily tethering to a computer, 4K streaming on the move, working from home over 4G or 5G for lack of fibre: these are the uses that eat 100 GB and more a month, and for which unlimited pays off. Below that, €25 unlimited is money sitting idle. 5G shifts things slightly because it loads faster, so you consume faster at the same behaviour — but few phone uses actually cross the 60 GB monthly mark.
What about the other Mobile Vikings plans in 2026?
Decent without being unbeatable, once compared to MVNOs on the same network. As of July 2026, the range starts around €10 per month for a small entry plan, passes through a mid tier around €15 for about twenty gigabytes, and offers a Viking plan at €29 for 70 GB at full speed before switching to the two unlimited plans at €25 and €30.
The problem isn't Mobile Vikings, it's structural: on the Orange network, the capped tiers are attacked head-on by hey! Telecom and Mega, often cheaper at equal volume. Unlimited, though, keeps a real argument, because few brands go this low in that segment. That's where Mobile Vikings is most interesting in 2026: not on the mid-range plans, but at the top of the volume scale.
So, Mobile Vikings' €25 unlimited — who is it for?
For anyone with a real need for unlimited who accepts 50 Mbps — otherwise, look elsewhere. The €25 Basic is the best entry ticket to unlimited in Belgium, provided the capped speed isn't a dealbreaker; if it is, the extra €5 for the Fast is well spent. For everyday use under 60 GB, a capped plan on the same network works out cheaper.
That leaves the question that comes before all the others: does the Orange network reach you well? Unlimited on a network that doesn't carry to your address is unlimited wasted. To place Mobile Vikings against DIGI, hey!, Mega or the network operators, on the price actually paid and the host network, our 5G plans ranking lines up the eight offers that hold up — and reminds you, line by line, which brand rides on which antennas.

Bastien a passé sept ans dans le déploiement de sites mobiles en Wallonie et à Bruxelles avant de basculer côté rédaction, en 2021. Il connaît la différence entre une antenne 5G qui apparaît sur une carte marketing et une antenne qui porte réellement à travers un mur de brique. Depuis, il relève chaque mois les grilles tarifaires de Proximus, Orange, Telenet, BASE, DIGI, Mobile Vikings, Mega, hey! ou yoin, recoupe les débits avec les mesures de l'IBPT, et recalcule le prix sur 24 mois quand un opérateur affiche un tarif à 1 € la première année. Son constat : en Belgique, la 5G n'appartient qu'à trois réseaux, et la quasi-totalité de l'écart de prix entre deux abonnements identiques vient de la marque posée dessus, pas du signal. Il y a un truc qui le gêne dans les comparatifs qui classent Proximus premier sans jamais écrire qu'un forfait équivalent coûte trois fois moins ailleurs sur le même réseau.
