By june 2017 every simcard will have to be registered. For that you have to present an official ID, but it does not have to be a Belgian id, EU-id's and international passports are accepted.

It is quite common to restrict subscriptions and online top-ups to bankaccounts or credit cards from the host country of the network, as apparently is the case for Belgian operators as some users have reported.

Being a Belgian I'm sorry to see that Belgian prepaid SIM-cards (be it voice or data) are so expensive compared to a lot of other countries.

One can expect a change in the market once the roaming charges in Europe disappear, which should be in june 2017. Then you should be able to buy a prepaid simcard anywhere in Europe and use it in every member state. The only question is which restrictions will apply concerning usage limits, but probably it will be a dramatic improvement.
