Merdata does not offer an eSIM plan with a phone number or SMS capability for the Netherlands. Travelers who purchase a merdata eSIM for the Netherlands will receive only a data‑only plan and will not be able to make or receive standard phone calls or SMS from that number.
To communicate and stay connected, users can rely on popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may block or restrict specific apps or VoIP services, so travelers should verify that the apps they rely on are accessible in the Netherlands before purchasing.
