eSIM vs airport SIM vs roaming

Local SIM and roaming prices vary by operator and carrier, so check them directly. We do not quote them here.

How to install and activate

1. Before you travel, on Wi-Fi: go to Settings > Cellular / Mobile Data > Add eSIM and scan the QR code from your TravelyData email.
2. Label the new line, for example “Netherlands Data”, so you can tell it apart from your home SIM.
3. When you land in the Netherlands, set the eSIM as your mobile data line and turn on Data Roaming for it.

Device compatibility

You need an eSIM-capable phone or tablet that is not locked to a carrier, for example iPhone XR/XS or later, Google Pixel 3 or later, or Samsung Galaxy S20 or later. Check your model and lock status on our list of eSIM-compatible devices before you buy.

Q5: Is the Netherlands eSIM refundable if I don’t use it?

A5: You get a 100% refund if your phone does not support eSIM or is locked to a carrier, the eSIM has not been installed or activated, and you claim within 14 days of purchase. You also get a full refund if your eSIM is not delivered. If a technical error on our side stops the eSIM from activating, or the local network is down or the signal is too poor to use it, and our support team cannot fix it, we will refund it in full (for a technical error on our side, we may replace the eSIM instead). We do not give refunds for a change of mind, or once the eSIM has been installed or activated (except for a technical error or a local network problem). Full details: Cancellation & Refund Policy.
