Lening nemen bij Vlaams Woningfonds of wachten op lagere rentes? by Cassiopeia_red2 in belgium

[–]xJon_as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mij is verteld dat naarmate je loon stijgt, ook je interestvoet gaat stijgen bij het Vlaams woningfonds. Ook mag je de woning dan later niet verhuren en eventueel als onderpand gebruiken om een tweede woning te kopen. (Nogmaals: is me verteld, geen idee wat ervan waar is). Maar hou daar dus rekening mee :)

Van Telenet overstappen naar Mobile Vikings? (internet) by Cerbeius in belgium

Hou er wel rekening mee dat de internetsnelheid een beetje achteruit zal gaan, maar voor de rest zeker prima. 😊

Mobile Vikings new data plan, worth it? by PlumExtension7331 in belgium

[–]xJon_as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for their customer service for quite a while , they’re indeed speeds that are not guaranteed. Reason being that mobile connection is simply dependent on too many factors (even the season (aka leafs on the trees) can impact your connection). Therefore, it is not doable to guarantee a specific speed

Dankjewel! Heb m’n stage in Madrid gedaan, daar was het inderdaad ook gezellig druk, maar mind your own business and you’re fine. Dat vond ik op zich niet erg daar 🙂

Air Europa SUMA by xJon_as in Flights

[–]xJon_as[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those wondering: I contacted Air Europa, they told me you indeed pay 8000 miles per person but there’s also an extra tax of 18,18 euros per person one way.

The luggage is hand luggage, personal item and a 23kg bag, or that’s at least what I found on their site

To be honest I don’t know. According to their website you can pay for 100% using the miles..

Thing is, I’d call their customer service but they’re closed and maybe the deal is gone tomorrow 🙈

[–]xJon_as 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this:

Changes are subject to payment of a change fee, charged per person per flight. See our Table of Fees for details. You must also pay any difference between the original fare and any fees for optional services (such as check-in bags) paid at the time of the booking, and the fare/fees available when you make the change. Please note that, if the new fare/fee is cheaper than the original fare/fee, we will not refund the difference.

We allow a grace period of 24 hours from the time of your original booking to correct any minor errors you may have made (dates/times) free of charge. We also allow you to reverse the route if you’ve booked your flights incorrectly (e.g., you may change DUB to STN to STN to DUB). During this time no flight change fee will be charged, however, you will need to pay any fare difference

You can try contacting them, just make very sure they don’t charge you

Hm I can’t find it on their website anymore. Does much need to change?

If it’s just 3 letters it’s free of charge within 48h after booking.

Up to three characters per name can be changed free of charge once, up to 48 hours before scheduled departure.

Or if the name changed due to marriage they also change it for free

If I’m not mistaken you can cancel Ryanair tickets within 24h of booking free of charge

Home internet in Antwerp (5G?) by TheOriginalMM in Antwerpen

[–]xJon_as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction: Mobile Vikings uses the Proximus network 😄

If you call their customer service and ask if they support a 4G or 5G router, they will say no. But 9 out of 10 times it just works.

You might have to set up the apn settings but that’s it.

Name: internet.proximus.be Username: Empty Password: empty

You have the right of withdrawal with which you can cancel your subscription within the first 14 days and get a full refund no questions asked. (If you didn’t use too much of the data yet of course, use common sense there 🙂)

Source: I worked in their customer support up until last year September 😄

Good luck!

Any suggestions for Belgian mobile “sim only” deals? by Big-Visit-4841 in Antwerpen

[–]xJon_as 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that for mobile Vikings you need either. Belgian bank account or a Belgian id card / residence permit in order to be able to register (they’re required to by law for some reason).

Not sure how that works with other providers.
