Want to know what Sim Only bundles Ben offers and how to choose the right one? Below you'll find out how Ben's bundles are structured, what the options are, and what to watch out for.
How are Ben's bundles structured?
At Ben, you put together your bundle from two separate components: a data bundle and a choice for calling and texting (200 minutes/texts, or unlimited). This is a different system than, for example, Hollandsnieuwe, where data, calling, and texting come from a single shared pool — at Ben, your data limit stays independent of how much you call or text.
Overview: from small to large data bundles
Ben offers data bundles that range from a small entry-level bundle (around 5 to 6GB) to a large package of roughly 40GB. Ben doesn't offer a literally unlimited data bundle. Please note: we couldn't directly verify the exact intermediate steps and prices per bundle on ben.nl (the website blocks automated retrieval), and various independent sources mention slightly different tiers. So always check the current bundle ladder and prices on ben.nl or compare via Welli before you choose.
Calling and texting: 200 minutes/texts or unlimited
With every data bundle, you separately choose whether 200 calling minutes and texts are enough for you, or whether you'd rather call and text unlimited within the Netherlands. The unlimited option is more expensive, but prevents you from going over your bundle if you call a lot. Want to know more about how to make this choice?

Precise data measurement per MB
A practical detail: Ben generally measures data usage per MB rather than rounding up in larger steps (such as 10MB), which according to independent comparison sites works out better for your wallet if you go slightly over your bundle. This couldn't be directly verified on ben.nl — treat it as an indication, not a hard guarantee.
Adjust your bundle for free every month
Do you consistently use more or less than your bundle allows? At Ben, you can adjust your data bundle up or down for free every month via the app. That makes it easy to keep up with changing usage, for example due to a holiday or a busier work period.
Contract type: cancel monthly
Ben works with a monthly cancellable contract type: you're not tied to a long-term contract and can switch or cancel at any time. This fits with the flexible, low-threshold positioning of the brand.
Which network does Ben use?
Ben runs on the Odido network (formerly T-Mobile), with 5G included as standard on all bundles. Want to know more about the network and the owner of Ben? Also read: Ben Sim Only: network, ownership and overview
Who is Ben suitable for?
Ben is a good fit for anyone looking for a reliable network at a reasonable price, who values flexibility (adjusting your bundle monthly, no long-term contract), and who wants to manage things themselves online via the app.
How do you choose the right bundle?
Look at your average monthly data usage over the past few months (you can check this via your current provider's app) and choose a bundle that's just above that, so you keep a small margin. Because at Ben you can adjust your bundle for free every month, you don't need to choose the biggest bundle right away 'just in case'.

Conclusion
Ben offers data bundles from small up to about 40GB, with a separate choice between 200 calling minutes/texts or unlimited calling and texting. Thanks to the monthly flexibility and the monthly cancellable contract, you can easily adjust your bundle when your usage changes.
