“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.”

Airhub Netherlands

“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.”

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.”

Airhub Netherlands

“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.

GLOBAL YO Netherlands

“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.”

Airalo Netherlands

“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?

Netherlands offers more than 150 travel eSIM providers and over 9 500 prepaid data plans. With such a vast selection, travelers have a wide variety of options to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Netherlands?

Unplugged internet is available in the Netherlands, with a variety of unlimited eSIM options to choose from. Providers that offer unlimited data include abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Roambit, Yesim, Billion Connect, Truely, Orange Travel, FairPlay, and Airhub. All of these plans enable tethering, although speeds can be restricted; for example, abesteSIM limits speed to 5 Mbps, while the other plans note that throttling may occur during peak usage. The price for unlimited data varies from as low as about $2.41 for abesteSIM to around $38 for Roamify, Orange Travel, and Airhub, placing the typical range roughly between $2 and $38. Travelers can use these plans to stay connected across the country, and may adjust the validity period from one day up to thirty days to fit their itinerary.

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?

Yes, travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS for use in the Netherlands are available. JamboSim offers circuits that use a Dutch +31 number with outbound voice calls and outbound SMS, with plans ranging from 1 GB for $5.99 to 20 GB for $16.99 and validities of 7 to 30 days. Airhub gives local +31 numbers with both inbound and outbound voice and SMS capabilities on data plans that start at 15 GB for $23.99 and go up to 100 GB for $37.00, all valid for 30 days. Other providers such as Roamify, GlobaleSIM, and Orange Travel sell eSIMs that include voice and SMS but use foreign dialing codes (for example +33 or +1); these do not furnish a local Netherlands number.
