“The application is good and the coverage depends on chosen supplier. Some suppliers are good, others need to be enhanced. The speed and coverage depends on the service provider and on the country infrastructure. Rate is acceptable.”

“Truly awful 3G speed on strong 5G towers in Amsterdam. I have excellent signal strength on my device, yet somehow my 300GB Europe eSIM from Airhub consistently produces 3Mpbs down and up. This strongly suggests rate limiting. Over several days it's like this with the only advice from Airhub support to restart the device, which does nothing.”

Yoho Mobile Netherlands

“Do not use this provider! I have used several esims but this one is not working, only at very low speeds. Contacted customer support. React very slow and could not resolve. After a lot of complaints agreed to refund. Took 3 weeks to refund. they only processed refund after 3 weeks when complaining again. Do not recommend. Not worth the money. Even 1 star is too much

GLOBAL YO Netherlands

“Totally not recommended!

I fell victim to a scam by Global Yo in October 2024, came here warn others not to make the same mistake. They market the data as "limitless".But it's only 1GB a day that has a decent speed after that drops to about 0.15 Mb/S. Look for the little 'i' when reading the brochure.

Thanks esimdb for recommending it to me!”

“Pretty good experience overall, the internet breakouts mentioned in their data plan are accurate. One issue I encountered was when switching between network it takes a minutes to few minutes to get a connection back.”

“I bought 10 days unlimited for 30USD. After 1.5 day - no internet.
I sent the message to Support via my e-mail - no reply.
I tried to send the message to Support - via Airhubapp website - but the forms constructed in such way it cannot be submitted. (When I push submit button - nothing happened). After 10 attempts to contact to Support - I gave up.

“Can't name it a full scam but it actually is. I bought an eSIM valid for 365 days. After 180, it has expired from my account. Emailed support, got one reply asking for proof, sent it over, never got an answer although asking for an update 2 times. Filling a chargeback request with my bank.”

“Mixed. Good in Amsterdam with country-specific eSim.
In Germany, bought regional. In Berlin, Dresden & Cologne struggling to get data and receive messages, regardless of number of bars showing.
Comparing to my wife on Vodafone $5/day roaming, she had no problems with data access.
Moved her also to Airalo in Dresden & was disaster. Both had trouble getting map data, messages via WhatsApp and FB Messenger massively delayed.”

Netherlands Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Netherlands

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Netherlands, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are over 140 eSIM travel brands available for use in the Netherlands, and more than 9100 prepaid data plans. This wide selection makes it easy for travelers to find a plan that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Netherlands?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for the Netherlands are offered by several providers. Firsty provides a one‑day unlimited plan at no cost, but the speed is capped at 256 kbps and the device displays ads. Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Truely, and Yesim all supply unlimited data for periods ranging from one to ten days, with speeds up to 5 Mbps that may be throttled during heavy usage. Each of these plans operates on 5G networks. Prices for the unlimited options generally fall between $0 and about $20 USD, with most plans positioned around $2 to $20 depending on validity length. When choosing a plan, consider the expected data use and the potential speed limits to ensure a smooth experience.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Netherlands?

Odido: Formerly known as T-Mobile Netherlands, Odido is the largest mobile network operator in the Netherlands, offering extensive 4G and 5G coverage nationwide.
KPN: As the incumbent telecommunications provider, KPN delivers comprehensive mobile services with robust 4G and expanding 5G networks across the country.
Vodafone: Operating under the VodafoneZiggo joint venture, Vodafone provides widespread mobile coverage and services throughout the Netherlands.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), the Netherlands hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. Examples include Simyo, which operates on KPN's network, and Ben, which utilizes Odido's infrastructure. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Netherlands?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for the Netherlands from several providers, such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, eSimfly, SimOptions, and MoreMins eSIM. All of these plans issue a phone number that can receive and make calls and send and receive SMS, but the number is issued under a foreign dialing code rather than the local Dutch code of +31. For instance, GlobaleSIM offers a +1 number with inbound and outbound voice and inbound SMS, while Roamify’s Netherlands eSIM uses a +33 number that supports inbound and outbound voice and SMS; Orange Travel provides numbers with dialing code 33, SimOptions delivers +420 numbers, and MoreMins eSIM supplies +44 numbers. Prices for these plans begin around $4 for low‑data options and scale up to about $70 for large packages, with validity periods ranging from seven days to ninety days. If a truly local Dutch number is required, a provider that supplies a +31 number would need to be sought, as none of the current offerings use the domestic dialing code.
