All about MyScarlet app

Is 5 GB enough for your mobile data usage?

We get this question a lot. And yes, for many people, 5 GB of data is enough. Each month, 5 GB lets you:

  • Send WhatsApp messages
  • Check your e-mail and socials
  • Use Google Maps to never get lost
  • Browse the Internet

In a nutshell: 5 GB is perfect for light to moderate use. No need to pay more if you don't need it. If, however, you often watch videos, spend a lot of time on your socials or share your connection, consider upgrading to 10 GB or 20 GB.

Got question about our cheapest mobile subscription?

Scarlet Mobile Red is the most affordable plan in the Scarlet range: just €8 /month for 5 GB.

It depends on current deals and promotions. In Belgium, some operators show very low starting prices, but these are often temporary or come with a less stable network, limited coverage, or restricted customer service. Scarlet takes a different approach. It’s the "smart choice" for people who want reliability without the high price tag:

  • Prices that stay low: we don’t do those "teaser" promos that double after six months. What you sign up for is what you pay.
  • The Proximus network: stable 4G coverage everywhere in Belgium (99.8% of the population).
  • Simplicity first: A transparent offer, without unnecessary frills.

The bottom line: You get a great price without having to compromise on quality.

Find out why Scarlet is the smart choice

Yes, for light to moderate usage: For WhatsApp messages, checking your e-mail, surfing the web, using apps like Google Maps, a few social networks and watching the occasional video, 5 GB is more than enough. No need to pay more if your usage remains reasonable.

Yes, roaming in the EU zone is included, so you can call and surf as if you were at home. Want to call Belgium from another country? Please note that charges may apply.
