FAQ

How fast is the internet in the Netherlands and is 5G available?

The Netherlands has one of the most advanced networks in Europe with nearly full 5G coverage. With HandySIM, you use the infrastructure of leading operators like KPN or Odido, ensuring lightning-fast speeds for video calls, streaming, and work while traveling by train between cities.

Do I need to register and how can I track my usage?

Buying a local prepaid card here often requires knowledge of Dutch to manage the account. With HandySIM, everything is in an accessible language. We strongly recommend registering on our website to track your remaining mobile data in real-time and top up online through your profile at any time.

Can I use my phone to pay for public transport?

Yes, the OV-pay system works throughout the Netherlands. You can check in and out of buses, trams, and trains directly with your phone (via Google Pay or Apple Pay). To do this, however, you need a stable internet connection so your transactions can update in real-time, which HandySIM provides.

Do I need internet to visit museums (Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh)?

Yes, most major museums now require pre-purchased digital tickets with a specific entry time slot. Additionally, many offer interactive audio guides that load directly onto your phone via QR code. With HandySIM, you ensure that tickets and guides load instantly at the entrance. The profile installation takes about 5 minutes, so it is best to be ready before you reach the museum.

Which apps are essential for my stay in the country?

Besides Google Maps, we strongly recommend installing 9292 or NS for planning train and public transport trips. These apps require constant updates regarding delays and platform changes, making reliable mobile data critical.

Is it safe to use online banking via the eSIM connection?

Yes. The Netherlands is a leader in digital payments, but public networks are not always secure. Your HandySIM eSIM provides an encrypted and private connection, which is a mandatory requirement for the security of your passwords and banking apps while exploring the canals of Amsterdam.

Why should I choose an eSIM over standard roaming if traveling from outside the EU?

If your operator is based outside the European Union, roaming charges in the Netherlands can be exorbitant. With HandySIM, you get local-level pricing and full transparency. You have complete control over your costs directly through your profile on our website, avoiding any surprises on your monthly bill.
