Netherlands travel data eSIM
What is a Netherlands eSIM?
A Netherlands eSIM gives travelers a simple way to stay online while exploring the low‑lying country, from the canals of Amsterdam to the historic streets of Rotterdam. After a quick QR‑code activation before you depart, your data plan is ready as soon as you connect, letting you navigate, book tickets, and share your journey without swapping physical SIM cards.
In the Netherlands the eSIM links to KPN 5G and Vodafone 5G networks, so your data flows through whichever operator you are attached to. The plan’s data allowance counts from the first connection, and you can use it for maps, transit apps, and online bookings while moving between cities or riding the bike routes.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Netherlands
When you activate the eSIM in the Netherlands it connects to KPN 5G and Vodafone 5G operator networks. The actual reach of service depends on the specific operator’s infrastructure in the area you are visiting, so you’ll have access wherever those networks are present.
5 plans are available for Netherlands, from $3.90 up to $19.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operators does the Netherlands eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM works with KPN 5G and Vodafone 5G. This gives you access to the services those operators provide, letting you use data for navigation, bookings, and online apps while you are in the Netherlands.
Does the eSIM also work in a neighbouring country of the Netherlands?
It is a single‑country plan valid only in the Netherlands. For trips that include neighbouring countries such as Belgium or Germany, regional or multi‑country eSIM options are available.
Which plan size suits a trip to Amsterdam and Rotterdam?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plans often cover two major city visits, providing enough data for maps, transit apps, and occasional streaming during a short stay.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
