Thanks for the comprehensive guide! As a foreigner living in the Netherlands, I found the information on SIM card options very helpful. I’m planning to purchase a mobile phone here, and now I know which provider to choose. Do you have any recommendations for data plans that would be suitable for a long-term stay?

Hello. I have a very unusual question. Hoping someone can help. I closed my Dutch T-mobile account about 1.5 years ago. (I do still have the SIM.) Is it possible in any way, at all, to get service for that phone number now? Either re-open it with Odido or have that number assigned to a VOIP service or some other idea? Would really appreciate the help!

Tried to buy a e-Sim at KPN but I was told that foreigners cannot have e-sim, only physical sim chip. is that true? I asked also at apple store in amsterdam and they also told me the same.

When I arrived in Utrecht on my third visit (2017), I stopped at a T-Mobile store in order to procure a prepaid SIM. Two young gentlemen working there thought they had an idiot whom they could charge entirely too much money, so they tried to convince me that I needed two SIMs. I had a lot of fun with them as I started to ask questions in a way that only a clueless tourist would until I got bored and told them I would only be needing one SIM (and why) and a conversation with their manager.

stay away from simpel if you are not dutch speaker. They deny to explain the terms in english and you agree in very user hostile terms. They also deny to cancel a subscription no matter if you are willing to pay a fee.

There are other operators(MVNO’s) available in the market like Youfone, Ben, Lyca and L-mobi that you missed to mention in the article. In fact Lyca market share is more than Lebera as far as I know and their plan is also international friendly. L-mobi is new to the market and they are offering yearly plan in prepaid with low cast. it would be good for readers if you include these operators in your next update of this article.
