Does Belong offer international roaming?
Yes, Belong supports international roaming for its users on its prepaid plan. It automatically connects to local partner networks in your destination country.
To use your phone abroad, Belong offers a $30 International Roaming add-on, often called a travel pack. This add-on provides 3GB of data, 150 minutes of calls, and unlimited standard SMS for use across more than 45 eligible destinations.
The roaming pack is valid for 15 days once activated and is available for all active Belong standard mobile phone plans.

Belong international roaming charges
Belong keeps its international roaming charges straightforward by offering a single travel pack option rather than charging unpredictable pay-as-you-go rates.
The $30 International Roaming add-on includes the following features:
- Data: 3GB of data
- Texts: Unlimited standard SMS
- Calls: 150 minutes of standard voice calls
- Validity: 15 days from activation
- Coverage: Valid for use in more than 45 eligible destinations
Note: If you use up your data or call allowance before the 15 days are over, or if your travel pack expires, you can simply purchase another $30 add-on through the Belong app to top up your service.
How to activate Belong international roaming
To start using Belong international roaming, purchase the add-on via your account and then adjust your phone’s network settings. Follow these steps:
Purchase the add-on
- Log in to the Belong app or your online account.
- Navigate to Manage Mobile.
- Select International Roaming and follow the prompts to purchase the $30 add-on.
Turn on data roaming in your settings
Your phone will not use overseas data until you explicitly permit it in your device settings.
For iPhone (iOS)
- Open Settings and tap Mobile (or Cellular).
- Tap Mobile Data Options.
- Toggle the Data Roaming switch to On.
For Android
- Open Settings and tap Connections (or Network & Internet).
- Tap Mobile Networks.
- Toggle the Data Roaming switch to On.
Note: The Belong International roaming add-on activates automatically when your phone connects to an eligible partner network overseas. The 15-day expiry period begins exactly when this automatic connection occurs. So, you can purchase the plan days before your trip without worrying about using up your valid days.
What’s the best way to stay connected overseas?
If you are on the Belong network, you can easily purchase an add-on and use your SIM card overseas. However, for some travellers, 3GB of data is not enough, especially on long trips or for those who use data-heavy apps. Additionally, Belong international roaming is not supported in all countries.
You can solve all these problems by purchasing a Holafly eSIM. With unlimited data, flexible plan durations, 5G speed where available, coverage in 200+ destinations, and 24/7 customer support, Holafly is one of the best alternatives to the Belong network for those who want to enjoy their trips with more flexibility.
Holafly also offers extra data on all its eSIMs as an Always On feature, which allows you to use 1 GB of backup data if the main data allowance is unavailable or depleted while the eSIM remains installed. So, you will stay connected even if you exceed your plan.
For frequent travellers or digital nomads, Holafly Plans offers a monthly subscription, allowing you to use a single eSIM in 170+ destinations for one month. So, you won’t need to purchase a new local SIM card or eSIM each time you travel to a new destination.
