eSIM for Netherlands
Covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
What the network is actually like
Among the densest networks in Europe. 5G is broadly available and the country is small and flat enough that genuine dead spots barely exist. Trains have reliable coverage end to end.
Networks: Vodafone, KPN
How much data you'll need
5GB covers a week of maps and messaging. Nightly video calls home, or a tethered laptop, and you want the 10.
