How is the coverage of 50+ mobiel?

If you are considering switching to 50+ mobiel, of course you want to know if you have good coverage everywhere. Because a low price is nice, but without coverage you have little use for it. A recent study by Umlaut shows that Vodafone - the network that 50+ mobiel runs on - has a nationwide 4G coverage of 99.8%. That sounds good, but how do you notice it in practice? In this article we explain how the coverage of 50+ mobiel really is: from speed to coverage inside and outside the city.

Which network does 50+ mobiel use?

Vodafone network

50+ mobiel uses the network of Vodafone. That means you call, text and internet through the infrastructure of one of the largest networks in the Netherlands. They don't have their own transmission towers, but lean completely on Vodafone.

4G coverage and speed

You get access to Vodafone's 4G network. According to Pricewise, this allows you to get speeds of up to 350 Mbps - faster than many other providers that stick around 256 Mbps. Not bad, then, especially for a budget provider.

How does the coverage work in practice?

Coverage inside and outside the city

Vodafone scores well in cities, but even outside the Randstad the coverage is usually quite good. Thanks to a combination of low (800 MHz) and high (1800 MHz) frequencies, there is a good balance between range and speed. Whether you're in a flat in Amsterdam or a farmhouse in Drenthe, chances are you'll just have range.

Range indoors

Because of those low frequency bands, the network also works well through walls. That means less frustration at home, the office or the supermarket. Of course, the construction of the building also plays a role, but in general you'll be fine.

Problems with certain phones

Still, there are exceptions. On Bellen.com, a user reported that his iPhone 11 was not working properly with the Vodafone network via 50+ mobiel. The provider could not solve the problem, after which the contract was terminated. So it seems rare, but some devices can give compatibility problems.

What do users say about coverage?

Positive experiences

Many users are satisfied. They praise the stable connection and the fact that they can just call and Internet anywhere without crazy interruptions. Especially for the price you pay, 50+ mobiel delivers good performance.

Criticism and limitations

Still, there are some critical voices. Some people note that coverage in remote areas is sometimes less than with KPN. Technical problems with certain devices can also play a role. But in general, if Vodafone works well for you, so does 50+ mobiel.

How can you check coverage?

Use the Vodafone coverage map

Unsure if the network in your area is strong enough? Then use the official Vodafone coverage map. There you can enter your address and immediately see how strong the signal is for calling, 4G internet and text messaging.

Customer service in case of problems

Do you still experience problems? Then you can contact the customer service of 50 + mobiel. They can be reached by phone and email, and usually help you quickly on your way. In case of network problems you can immediately rule out whether it's your device or the network.

Conclusion: how is the coverage of 50+ mobiel?

The coverage of 50+ mobiel is just solid. You get access to the reliable Vodafone network, which, according to recent figures, offers 99.8% nationwide 4G coverage. In practice, this means fast internet and stable connections in most places in the Netherlands. Inside and outside the city, and mostly indoors.
