Mobile
A new phone with a subscription is basically an installment purchase. You often pay much more per month than you think. With a cheap SIM-only plan in the Netherlands you keep your own phone and only pay for calls and data, which can save you hundreds of euros a year. Easy Nuts compares SIM-only deals from KPN, Vodafone and Budget Mobiel, so you can choose the best mobile plan in the Netherlands for your budget and usage.
Just arrived in the Netherlands? A Dutch phone number makes life a lot easier. You need it for your bank, your employer, your housing agency, delivery services and many apps. We help expats get a Dutch SIM card or eSIM quickly, with clear advice in English.
Whether you call a lot, mainly use mobile data or need a plan you can cancel monthly, we help you find a cheap mobile subscription without long contracts or hidden costs.

Looking for the best SIM-only deal in the Netherlands? These are the plans our customers choose most. Many of our SIM-only plans can be cancelled monthly, which is ideal if you are new to the country, staying for a limited time or simply want to keep your options open. Choose a small bundle if you mostly use WiFi, or go for unlimited calls and data if you are always on the move.
