Belgium during Valentine’s Day is something different; it is less of a rom-com and more like an art film. The Bruges streets are full of pralines, handwritten notes, cobbled streets, and quiet canals. Whether you call it Saint Valentin in Wallonia or Valentijnsdag in Flanders, the emotion is the same. Valentine’s Day in Belgium is thoughtful, intimate, and VERY chocolate-dependent.
But for the couples who aren’t together or traveling to see each other, the story is different. It is equally intimate and thoughtful, but unlike chocolate, it is VERY data dependent. The whole evening comes down to if your connection can handle the hours and hours of video calls, watch parties, shared playlists, and endless social media sharing where all you say is ‘This is so US!’ or ‘This makes me miss you even more.”
Why Long Distance Love Needs the Right Plan
When your partner is in another city or country, your phone is your meeting place. You celebrate Valentine’s Day by:
- Long video calls and digital dinner dates
- Photos from Bruges, Dinant, or Brussels with love-sick messages
- Late-night audio calls across time zones.
And for all this to feel natural, perfect, and uninterrupted, you need 3 things from your carrier:
- A plan that gives you data that is enough for all the video calls for date night, meme and video sharing or watch parties
- Affordable and reliable international calling minutes when video calls and social media sharing are not possible
- Cost that doesn’t make it hard to stay connected, affordable plan prices, so there is enough in your budget to send your partner a cute gift
Lyca Mobile, the superhero who saves love stories
Lyca Mobile’s plan is made for those who miss a little more and hate getting interrupted or getting charged through the roof. For couples, the real and usable plan is the affordable one, which gives higher data allowances and has the option to call internationally.
Say hello to International Mix L: With 1000 international calling minutes and 10GB data allowance, plus unlimited Lyca to Lyca minutes, this plan hits the sweet spot that couples are looking for.
This plan makes sure that your ‘good night’ calls are not dependent on Wi-Fi. This plan makes sure that if you are in Belgium and your partner is traveling abroad or lives in another country, you don’t have to choose between calling via data or minutes.
It also maps the reality of long-distance relationships. The weekly video calls are not draining your data; sending videos and sharing images barely create a dent in your allowance. And use minutes for early morning quick calls or middle of the day, ‘I miss you’ check-ins.
The prepaid style plan gives you the power to control top-up, usage, cancelations and activations. You are not bound by any contract or don’t have to fear any end of the month shocking bills. You can renew it after 30 days or change the plan. Lyca Mobile also allows you to port your existing number, and an eSIM option lets you activate instantly.
In Belgium, Saint Valentin or Valentijnsdag might be all about long walks, flowers, and chocolates, but for long-distance couples, your real love story brews online, through a screen. So, make sure you appreciate the one you love not just with physical gifts, but also with the gift of time, face time, and loads of romantic, love-sick texts and videos. Keep love alive with data that is reliable, seamless, and fast, keep love alive with Lyca Mobile.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
