Yes, one of the biggest advantages is that most of our Netherlands plans include free EU roaming. This means you can use the same data plan to travel to Germany, Belgium, France, and other EU countries at no extra cost. Always check the "plan details" before purchase to confirm "EU Roaming" is included.
This is a data-only eSIM and does not come with a local Dutch phone number. However, you can use your existing number with apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over our data connection to make calls and send texts.
The Netherlands has one of the best and fastest 4G/5G networks in the world. You can expect excellent, high-speed coverage whether you are in cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht, or visiting rural areas like the Keukenhof tulip fields.
Your phone must be "carrier-unlocked" to use an eSIM. If you bought your phone directly from a carrier (like T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc.) on a contract, it might be locked. Please check with your home provider before purchasing.
It depends on your trip. For a short city break in Amsterdam (3-5 days) with normal use (maps, social media), a 3GB or 5GB plan is usually perfect. If you plan to stream videos, use high-data apps, or are traveling for a longer period, one of our 15 unlimited plans offers the best value and peace of mind.
Your connection will simply stop. You will never be charged for extra data you did not intend to buy. If you need more, you can easily log in to our website and purchase a new plan (a "top-up").
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
