Answer 1

The best thing you can do, is visit a shop which sells cell phones, subscriptions and pre-paid cards. They will give you advise tailored to your personal situation.

Probably a sim-only prepaid card from a Dutch telecom provider will be best. I advise going to shops that sells items from more then one provider. Examples:

t-for-telecom

phone house

dixons

vodafone shop

t-mobile shop

Do some research on the web.

Answer 2

I think you should consider switching to a dutch provider.

Foreign calls, even ones as close as Belgium and Holland, are pretty expensive.

Since you are roaming with your phone, you pay as least twice as much as otherwise.

My best guess for getting Belgian pre-paid cards would be the closest Belgian gas station.
