Currently there are now three down from four physical network operators (MNOs)
available in the Netherlands:

KPN
Odido formely T-Mobile, merged with Tele2
WIKIS Vodafone Nederland

T-Mobile and Tele2 have agreed to a merger in 2017. About one year later this
START A merger was approved by the EU authorities finalized in 2019. The combined
WIKI
company is a joint venture and led by T-Mobile. Tele2 has become an online brand
only under the T-Mobile Group. Both partners sold T-Mobile in 2021 to a financial
consortium. In 2023 T-Mobile is renamed Odido.

SIM cards in the Netherlands are still freely available without any registration. A
registration scheme was discussed, but has not been implemented so far. They are
sold in supermarkets, kiosks, service stations, mobile phone stores, branded
provider stores and at Schiphol Airport.

Price comparison with the rest of the world

UK internet comparison site cable.co.uk has ranked the Netherlands as 137th out of
237 countries/territories and 18th in the OECD (36 countries) in terms of mobile
data affordability with data costing on average €1.58 (approximately US$1.61) per
GB (July 2023). This means the Netherland's prices are fairly in line with the global
median.[Cable 1] However, many still think prepaid data prices in the Netherlands are
quite high.

As such, you may want to consider roaming with your existing plan if you are from
the EU or purchasing an international eSIM with national plans for the Netherlands
(see the relevant section below).

Frequencies and coverage

All three mentioned networks have nationwide coverage in 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE,
where these frequencies are employed:

2G/GSM: 900 MHz, 1800 MHz - shut down by Odido in 2021

3G/UMTS: 900 MHz (B8), 2100 MHz (B1) - shut down by Vodafone in 2020
and KPN in 2022
4G/LTE: 800 MHz (B20), 900 MHz (B8), 1800 MHz (B3), 2100 MHz (B1), 2600
MHz FDD (B7), 2600 TDD (B38)
5G/NR: 700 MHz (n28), 1500 MHz (n75), 1800 MHz (n3), 2100 MHz (n1)

In April 2020 Vodafone has started 5G/NR over existing frequencies in the 1800
MHz band (n3) through DSS and later also on 700 MHz (n28), 1400 MHz (n75; SDL)
and 2100 MHz (n1), and is open for prepaid users. Later KPN and Odido followed on
700 MHz (n28), 1500 MHz (n75; SDL) and 2100 MHz (n1) and already claim
"nationwide" coverage in 2021, but unlike Vodafone, have not yet opened 5G for
prepaid users. Band n78 (3500 MHz) is not expected to be auctioned off before
2024 pending the relocation of Inmarsat's maritime safety ground station in Burum

here (https://www.4gmasten.nl/kaart/).

FAN All networks achieved outstanding results in network tests. For rural use your
CENTRAL
BETA
device should support a low LTE band used by the respective network, which is B8
(900 MHz) on Odido and B20 (800 MHz) on the other two networks. 4G/LTE
coverage is excellent with all providers at 97% availability according to OpenSignal

GAMES in 2021. Odido had the fastest speeds at 62.2 Mbps in downloads before Vodafone
and KPN.

ANIME 2G, 3G and MMS shut down

The Netherlands are one of the few countries where different providers have shut
down different network generations:
MOVIES

KPN: 31/MAR/2022 - 3G was shut down -> KPN is a 2G/4G/5G network now
Odido: 01/JUN/2021 - 2G was shut down -> Odido is a 3G/4G/5G network
TV now
Vodafone: 04/JUN/2020 - 3G was shut down -> Vodafone is a 2G/4G/5G
network now
VIDEO

So from 2022 you will only have 2G on KPN and Vodafone and 3G on Odido. All
networks continue to support 4G/LTE and 5G NR.
WIKIS

MMS services were discontinued by KPN on 01/JUL/2017, by Vodafone on

03/JAN/2019, and Odido, Ben and all other providers on 08/JAN/2019, due to the
START A
WIKI
popularity of IM services such as WhatsApp, Telegram and FB Messenger in the
country. (https://tweakers.net/nieuws/120637/t-mobile-stopt-in-nederland-in-20
19-na-zeventien-jaar-met-mms.html)

The Netherlands are a part of the EU, where from 2017 new
international roaming rules are enforced. In most European
countries you can now 'roam like at home' at domestic
rates rather than excessive roaming rates. Dutch operators
generally apply this principle without restrictions on all prepaid offers. For
specifics about the new regulation check the European Union chapter and
every provider below. Unlike many other operators in EU, Switzerland and the
UK are also included in some Dutch offers without surcharges. The island of
Saint Martin (French side) is often included, but the Dutch side is not.

From a prepaid market that used to be big and diverse, only few providers are left in
the Netherlands. They are right now one of the more expensive offers for data when
you use local prepaid SIM cards. That's why you may consider bringing an EU/EEA
issued SIM card to the Netherlands and use it for roaming in the country.

KPN
KPN is the biggest telecommunication
company in the Netherlands. It used to be
the state-owned telco, still owns the
landline network and is clear market leader
with its own brand KPN Mobile and through
subsidiaries in the mobile market. As
incumbent provider it claims the best coverage at the highest prices (coverage
map (http://www.coveragechecker.nl/)).

Their 4G/LTE can be used with their prepaid . However, all prepaid usage speeds
provided by KPN, are capped at 25 Mbit/s (download) / 10 Mbit/s (upload). These
caps are also imposed on all MVNOs that use KPN's network. All allowances can be
used without surcharges all over the EU/EEA. KPN has started 5G on n28 (700
MHz), but this is not yet available for prepaid. It closed down its 3G network on
31/MAR/2022 to be a 2G/4G/5G network while its 5G is not available for prepaid
users.

WIKIS
Vodafone (VodafoneZiggo)
VodafoneZiggo in the Netherlands is a joint venture
between Vodafone and Liberty Global and has moved
START A
WIKI up to 3rd place according to their mobile market share,
while it remains the biggest cable operator in the
country.

Vodafone has shut down its 3G mobile network in

February 2020. The operator stated that ceasing 3G services will give it more
capacity for 4G. Users without 4G-enabled devices can continue to access voice
and data services on its 2G network (albeit at significantly slower data rates and
with lower voice sound quality). Customers may also exchange an old SIM card for a
new LTE SIM free of charge.

Vodafone in the Netherlands is now a 2G, 4G and 5G network. 5G has started in

April 2020 in some cities, and is available for prepaid users. Their network coverage
is considered to be slightly behind KPN and Odido but still on a very high level, while
generally offering somewhat cheaper rates: Vodafone Coverage Map (https://www.
vodafone.nl/support/netwerk-en-dekking/dekkingskaart.shtml).

Availability
Their prepaid SIMs are available online, in their shops (locator (https://www.vodafon
e.nl/support/contact/vind-een-winkel.shtml)), in machines at the baggage claim
hall at Schiphol Airport and in Kruidvat Stores (Dutch drugstore chain). Be aware
that Vodafone Shops mostly offer no cash payment (Kruidvat does). Different
starter packs are available (not every distribution channel offers all of them):

for free without credit (only online)

for €5 with €5 credit
for €10 with 2 GB data
for €15 with 4 GB data
for €20 with 6 GB data
for €30 with 10 GB data

To activate, no legal registration is necessary. The prepaid card works as soon as

you put it in your device and get on the network. If the SIM card does not become
active immediately, you can also do this by calling 1200 for free.. A registration in
My Vodafone app is awarded with € 5 for the first top-up through the app.

Top-ups can be made by vouchers called Opwaardeerbons and are available all over
the country. To top-up, type *102*<voucher code>#. MyVodafone
(www.vodafone.nl/my) does not provide a possibility to enter voucher codes. You

European Time, not based on a 24 hrs period. E.g. if a day package is activated at
10AM it stops at 23:59h.

Activation is possible by SMS, by Smartphone-App or Online (MyVodafone:

www.vodafone.nl/my). SMS: Text <activation code> to 4000. To stop text 'STOP
<activation code>' to 4000. If activation by SMS fails with an error message, do it
online on your account or by app.

SMS Notifications: If credit drops below EUR 3 and if data is used up by 80% and by
100%.

It is possible to combine packages, which means that there is more than one active
package at the same time. The order of usage is defined by the time of activating
the packages in descending order. The package that has been activated last will be
used first. E.g. if there is a 2GB/30 Days Bundel activated first and an 1 Day
Unlimited Bundel activated second: Up to 23.59h all the data is taken from the 1
Day Unlimited Bundel. From 0:00h the data is taken from the 2 GB/30 Days Bundel.
This prevents being charged per MB as soon as the 1 day Unlimited Bundel is over
at 23:59h.

The SIM card is free, but you need to make a top-up of at least €10. They can be
delivered for free as well within the Netherlands. There are two plans: 'Standard
Plan' and 'Saver Plan'.

The default plan is 'Standard Plan'. On this plan you will benefit for 100% extra
credit on every top-up. So if you top-up for €10 you will get €20 credit.

Online top-up by credit card is only possible with a few credit cards. "We only
accept 3Dsecure Credit Cards from The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, United
Kingdom, Norway and Sweden."

The second plan is 'Saver Plan'. This plan gives all rates and packages at a

International eSIM plans

Given that the Netherlands' prepaid SIM cards are fairly expensive, international
eSIMs can be a popular alternative. However, you need to ensure your device is
eSIM compatible. Please see the article eSIM for more info on the eSIM in general.
This section focuses on the popular international eSIM providers that offer national
plans for the Netherlands (these plans are not valid elsewhere in the EU/EEA,
although many of these providers offer such - see articles on European Union and
