Let’s be real, constantly switching SIM cards, relying on slow or sketchy public WiFi, or turning your phone into a hotspot every time you need internet it gets old fast. It’s clunky, it drains your battery and let’s not even talk about how often it just doesn’t work when you really need it. Whether you’re living in the Netherlands full-time or just visiting for a few days, you just want a connection that works, without the hassle. That’s where SimWallet comes in. One app, one setup and you’re online in minutes no stress, no surprises.
What is SimWallet?
It’s basically a digital SIM you activate through an app. No plastic card, no visits to a store, no endless forms. Just open the app, choose how long you want internet a day or a month and boom, you’re online. An prepaid esim for the Netherlands works on smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, even laptops, as long as they support eSIM. There are three options at the moment. You can grab a pass for one day or 30 days with speeds up to 100 Mbit/s, or go for a slightly slower 20 Mbit/s option if you’re looking to save a bit. You’ll get unlimited data, with a fair use cap at 20GB per day. Hit that? No worries, your speed drops to 1 Mbit/s, but you won’t pay extra.
Who’s it for?
Got a family visiting from abroad and they need the internet for a few days? SimWallet’s perfect. Maybe you’re going to a festival and your own provider has no coverage, but SimWallet does. It’s also great for everyday moments. Like your kids watching videos during a road trip they get their own connection, and your data stays yours. Or trying 5G on your smartwatch while running. Or just doing some work or study at a café without trusting the free WiFi.
Set it up once, use it when you need it
The app is super straightforward. You can activate an eSIM directly on your phone, or generate a QR code to use it on another device. You can even keep multiple eSIMs in one app. That’s where the name comes from. It’s like a digital wallet full of SIM cards. Once the eSIM is installed, it stays active on your device for at least three months. You don’t have to use it right away, you can wait a week, or even longer, then just top it up when you’re ready. Want another one? Just set up a new eSIM. It’s all done through the app, available on Android and iOS.
No long term contract
There’s no contract. No “oops, extra fees.” No waiting around. You pay upfront using iDEAL or a credit card. Apple Pay and Google Pay are on the way too, but not quite there yet. It’s important to know: SimWallet is data only. So don’t expect phone calls or texts. But that also means it’s way more flexible. Use it when you want, on whichever device you like. Going on a trip? Need a backup connection? Want your own internet bubble on the go? SimWallet’s got you.
