Not all handsets can connect to the 5G network. Mainly newer handsets, such as the Samsung S21 or iPhone 12, are ready for this new technology. So it's a good idea to check whether your handset is capable of connecting to a 5G network.

- Activation via the My BASE app
Open the My BASE app, click ‘More’ and then ‘5G’. There you will see whether 5G is activated for your monthly plan. The slider allows you to activate 5G whenever you like. It's up to you! Please note, prepaid customers or customers with a BASE 0 cannot activate this.
5G is not available everywhere in Belgium yet. But BASE is investing to make it available all over Belgium.
No 5G available where you are? Then your calls and mobile internet are automatically routed via the available 4G network.
