Netherlands travel data guide
A Netherlands eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Netherlands that you install before you fly. Plans in Netherlands run on KPN and Vodafone, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 20 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Europe eSIM covers Netherlands and 33 other countries on one plan, from $1.99. The Global eSIM covers Netherlands and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Netherlands, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Netherlands from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Netherlands FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Netherlands?
It connects wherever KPN and Vodafone have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Netherlands, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Netherlands?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there a one day eSIM for a layover in Amsterdam?
Yes, the Netherlands has one day plans with 1 GB, 3 GB or 5 GB, and a one day unlimited plan. The day is counted from the first connection in the Netherlands, so buying it ahead does not waste any time.
Is 50 GB too much for a month in the Netherlands?
For most visitors, yes. 50 GB over 30 days is meant for people who work online or have no good WiFi where they stay in the Netherlands. A typical tourist is well served by 5 GB or 10 GB.
Which is better for the Netherlands, a fixed plan or unlimited?
A fixed plan is better in the Netherlands if you use little data and want to pay less. Unlimited is better if you don't want to think about it. Remember the unlimited plans slow to 1 Mbps after 1 GB or 3 GB per day.
How is the Netherlands eSIM delivered?
The Netherlands eSIM is delivered as a QR code by email after you pay. A copy is kept in your RoamZivo account. You scan it with your phone to install, so there is no card to post and no shop to visit.
Can I install the eSIM at Schiphol airport when I land?
Yes, if you have WiFi to download it, but it is easier at home. Installing early does not start your Netherlands plan. The plan begins only when the eSIM first connects to a Dutch network.
Can I top up a Netherlands eSIM?
Top up is offered on some Netherlands plans. The plan details show whether yours has it. If it does not, buy another plan when you run low and install it as a second eSIM.
Does the Netherlands eSIM work in Belgium?
No, a Netherlands plan only works in the Netherlands. If you plan a day trip to Belgium, buy the Europe regional plan instead, which covers both countries on the same eSIM.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
