Proximus NV operates one of the largest telecom customer-service operations in the country. The main consumer line 0800 33 800 routes through an automated menu first — to reach a human agent quickly, press 0 repeatedly or say 'agent' when prompted. Wait times are typically shortest mid-week between 9am and 11am local time, longest on Monday mornings and the day after a service outage or product launch.
Proximus segments specialist teams behind the main number: billing, technical support, account security, and an executive escalation desk reachable only after Tier 1 has logged the case. The brand publishes its contact details at https://www.proximus.be/nl/id_cr_contact/particulieren.html; the page is updated periodically with new toll-free numbers, regional offices, and country-specific lines for international customers. Always verify the number on that page before dialing — scam operators routinely buy ads on the brand's name and substitute their own number to harvest payment details.
If Proximus cannot resolve your case after two contacts, the regulator for this category is Ombudsman Telecommunicatie / Service de Médiation (https://www.bipt.be/). A regulator complaint forces a written response within 30 days and is the single most effective consumer tool in this market.

Common Proximus issues & solutions
Mobile signal dropping in your area
Restart the phone, then check Proximus's network status page for known outages by ZIP/postcode. If outage is confirmed, Proximus normally credits a prorated day of service when the outage exceeds 4 hours — ask for it explicitly on the call.
Bill higher than expected
Most bill spikes are roaming, premium-SMS, or a plan auto-renew. Open the itemized bill in 'My Account' and check the 'usage' section. Call 0800 33 800 within 30 days of the bill date — Proximus can usually waive the first surprise overage as a goodwill credit.
Porting your number to or from Proximus
You'll need your account number and a port-out PIN. Proximus legally cannot block the port and must release within 1–2 business days. If they delay, file an FCC informal complaint at fcc.gov/complaints — it almost always unblocks within 48 hours.
Phone reported lost or stolen
Call 0800 33 800 immediately to suspend the SIM (free) and blacklist the IMEI so the device cannot be re-used on any carrier. Insurance claims (Asurion or similar) are filed separately through the My Proximus app.
Cancelling service or contract early
Month-to-month plans cancel with the next bill cycle. Contract plans may carry a remaining-device-balance fee; Proximus sometimes waives it if you switch to another carrier that offers a switch-bonus that Proximus will price-match.
Data plan throttling or 'slow speed' complaint
Most plans throttle after a soft-cap (varies by tier). Check 'usage' in My Proximus; if throttling started before the cap, run a speed test and call 0800 33 800 — a Tier 2 tech can re-provision the SIM.

⚠️ Scam advisory
Proximus impersonation scams are common in BE. Warning signs: (1) caller asks for your password, full card number, PIN, or one-time passcode; (2) tells you a 'fraudulent' transaction or login happened and pressures you to act in minutes; (3) asks you to install remote-access software like AnyDesk or TeamViewer; (4) demands payment in gift cards or cryptocurrency. If any of these happen — hang up. Then dial 0800 33 800 yourself (never call back a number the caller gave you) to verify there is no real issue. Report the scam to https://www.bipt.be/ and to Proximus's abuse address listed on https://www.proximus.be/nl/id_cr_contact/particulieren.html.
