Telecom bill too high: where the money disappears and how to win it back

In most fleets, the waste isn't in the price per plan, it's in how the fleet is composed: bundles too large for office lines, bundles too small for field staff, and lines that haven't belonged to anyone for months.

Short answer

A telecom bill that's too high usually comes down to four things for Belgian companies: plans too big for actual usage, lines of former staff that keep running, data overages outside Europe and device instalments that continue after the term ends. Go through your last three invoices line by line, cut what nobody uses and put each profile on the right plan. Business plans at Netcom Mobile start from 15 euro per month excl. VAT, and our free savings check works out your current costs at no charge.

The four items that inflate your bill

An audit of an average SME fleet almost always comes down to the same points.

  • Dormant lines belonging to staff who have left, or devices sitting in a drawer.
  • Out-of-bundle usage from a few heavy users, while colleagues never use up their data.
  • Roaming outside the EU charged per megabyte instead of through a travel bundle.
  • Options that were switched on at some point and never reviewed since.

From actual usage to the right plan

We start from your real usage over three months and put every line on the profile that matches it. Office lines get a light data bundle, mobile profiles get more room, and machines and trackers move to a data-only or IoT card.

Our business plans start from 15 euro per month excl. VAT. On the rates page you can see, network by network, what a line costs, with a toggle between amounts excluding and including 21 percent VAT.

Travelling without a bill shock

Within the EU, roam like at home applies, outside it costs add up fast. For business trips to the US, Japan or the UAE, we set up a travel eSIM with a fixed amount upfront, so a two-week assignment doesn't turn into an open-ended bill.

One invoice instead of five

Mobile, fixed internet, IoT and voicemail all come together on one monthly invoice from Netcom Solutions. That doesn't just save money, it mostly saves the time your finance team spends on telecom.

Are prices shown excluding or including VAT?

By default excluding VAT, since we serve business customers. On the rates page you can switch with one click to amounts including 21 percent VAT.
