Choose the best eSIM for your trip"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Welkom<\/em> to the Netherlands. You\u2019ve decided you want to visit this amazing country. Maybe you want to see its beautiful countryside with its bulb fields and its windmills, or spend a couple of days in one (or more) of its vibrant cities. You feel like trying some Dutch specialties such as Poffertjes<\/em>, or enjoying its famous cheeses, and you definitely are ready to get on a bike to fully experience the Dutch way of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before that, you have to make sure you can connect to the internet without being charged those overpriced roaming costs.<\/strong> If you want to prepare for your trip, get yourself an eSIM to make sure you can connect safely the moment you reach the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s an eSIM?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An eSIM is a virtual SIM card installed on your phone used to connect to any operator that offers eSIM services with a mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eSIM card works like a traditional SIM card. You can connect to the network without having to use a physical SIM card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can change networks without switching your SIM card for a new one or changing devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a useful solution if you\u2019re having connection issues or, like in this case, you\u2019re travelling abroad and you\u2019re worried about roaming costs and additional fees in your data plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange eSIM holidays: Unbeatable Price per Gb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is our top choice: The best price per Gb<\/strong> with a large amount of data and a phone number to receive calls and make them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an ideal choice if you\u2019re travelling to the Netherlands. 30Gb<\/strong> of data at 4G\/LTE<\/strong> for 25\u20ac.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It allows tethering<\/strong> so you can use your mobile phone as a hotspot to connect other devices. You won\u2019t depend on public Wi-Fi to connect to your office, or to meet with a client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Identity check<\/strong> required by Spanish law won\u2019t be a hassle thanks to a simple and streamlined process. Simply follow the steps during checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to check if your device is compatible with Orange eSIM holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nomad Starter pack\/Value pack: limited data<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This eSim provider has a few options to fulfil your data needs (and just your data needs since it doesn\u2019t offer a phone number), however, the limited amount of Gb can be a burden if you need to Top Up<\/strong> your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While its cheapest plan provides 1Gb<\/strong> for 1 day<\/strong>, all other plans offer a validity of 30 days with a lower amount of data than eSIM Holidays<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With several price ranges depending on the amount of data, the most competitive would be the 15Gb<\/strong> for 25.5\u20ac<\/strong>, offering 1.7 \u20ac\/Gb.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

eSIM MEO Enjoy Europe: Great Price per Gb with no Identity Check<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

eSIM MEO offers two plans with different amounts of data for 15 days<\/strong>. One with 5Gb<\/strong> and another one with 15Gb<\/strong>, for 15\u20ac<\/strong> and 25\u20ac<\/strong> respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no Identity Check<\/strong> needed, the price they offer is a good option for those who don\u2019t want to go through the hassle of registering their identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price per Gb<\/strong> of their 15Gb<\/strong> option (1.66 \u20ac\/Gb<\/strong>) puts this eSIM in our third position, while the 5Gb<\/strong> eSIM offers a price per Gb of 3\u20ac.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airalo: Cheap plans with limited data<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Airalo offers very cheap plans<\/strong> with a very limited amount of data<\/strong>. If you\u2019re travelling on a tight budget, Airalo is a good option, but offers less data than our top coice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eSIMs provided by Airalo offer a very limited amount of Gb (1Gb, 3Gb, 5Gb, 10Gb<\/strong>) so even at their low price ranging from 6\u20ac<\/strong> to 27\u20ac<\/strong>, the price per Gb is higher than our previous choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holafly: Unlimited data for a higher price<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Holafly is the only choice offering unlimited data plans<\/strong>. But is more expensive<\/strong> than our top choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While their plans are not limited by data, they are limited by the number of days<\/strong>. Ranging from 5 days up to 90 days, for prices from 19\u20ac (5 days)<\/strong> to 99\u20ac (90 days)<\/strong>, you should really plan ahead if the amount of data you\u2019ll be using is worth the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So unless you\u2019re planning to stay for 60 days in the Netherlands, its price-per-day is way more expensive than our top choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should also know that tethering is not allowed<\/strong>, so if you are planning on connecting to your home office, or sharing your data with any of the devices you\u2019ve taken to your trip, you won\u2019t be able to use your phone as a hotspot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I get an eSIM for the Netherlands?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before purchasing your eSIM card, check if your mobile phone supports eSIM. Here\u2019s a list of compatible devices, but you should also check with the eSIM provider you want to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
