A Sim Only plan without a (large) data bundle isn't a standard offering: not every provider has this in their lineup. In this article, we've listed the providers that currently offer a calling-only plan.

Providers with a calling-only plan

The providers listed below currently offer a Sim Only option focused on calling (and usually texting), with little to no mobile data. Offers and exact terms change regularly, so always check with the provider or a current comparison tool before choosing.

Simyo

Simyo is considered one of the cheapest options for a plan focused on calling and texting, with a limited number of calling minutes or texts per month. The price is usually lowest with a longer contract term and rises slightly for a plan without a fixed term.

KPN

KPN also has a calling-only option in their lineup. KPN is one of the three major network owners in the Netherlands, which can be a plus in terms of coverage, although the price is often a bit higher than budget providers like Simyo.

Why don't more providers offer this?

Most Sim Only customers nowadays actually do want mobile internet, so many providers design their cheapest bundles with a small data bundle instead of no data at all. This makes a plan without any data less common, and sometimes even more expensive than an entry-level bundle with data.

What should you look out for when comparing?

  • Calling minutes and texts: unlimited, or a fixed amount per month?
  • Data bundle: truly 0 MB, or still a small bundle (for example, 500 MB to 1 GB)?
  • Contract term: a standalone plan with no fixed term, or a 12- or 24-month contract?
  • Network and coverage: which network does the provider use, and how's the coverage in your area?
  • Price difference compared to an entry-level plan with data: always work this out.
