Hollandsnieuwe uses a bundle system that differs from most other providers: no separate data bundle, calling minutes and texts, but everything from one pool. Below you'll find how that works, which bundles Hollandsnieuwe offers, and how to pick the right one.

Hollandsnieuwe's unique bundle system

At Hollandsnieuwe, 1 MB equals 1 calling minute equals 1 text message. Your bundle isn't a separate amount of data plus a separate amount of calling minutes — it's one total budget that you divide yourself between browsing, calling, and texting. Call a lot, and you'll have less left for data, and vice versa. That makes the system simple to understand, but it also means you need to factor in your total usage when choosing a bundle, not just your data needs.

Overview: Hollandsnieuwe's five bundles

5,000 MB/min/text

Hollandsnieuwe's smallest bundle. Suitable if you're mostly on WiFi at home or work and use little mobile data: occasional calls, messaging, and a bit of browsing on the go.

10,000 MB/min/text

Double the smallest bundle, and usually enough for users with average mobile usage: regular browsing, calling and texting without having to worry.

20,000 MB/min/text

For anyone who regularly watches video or navigates on the go, or calls more than average, this bundle is a safer choice than the two smaller options.

30,000 MB/min/text

This bundle suits heavier users: lots of streaming, calling for work, or a combination of both, without running out before the month is over.

40,000 MB/min/text

Hollandsnieuwe's largest bundle, meant for anyone who uses a lot of mobile data, calls a lot, and is rarely on WiFi. Note: this isn't the same as an unlimited data bundle — you can read exactly how that works in the article on unlimited internet below.

The current monthly prices per bundle and any introductory offers (Hollandsnieuwe regularly advertises a low price for the first few months) change from time to time. Always check the latest prices on hollandsnieuwe.nl or compare them via Welli before making a choice.

Prepaid principle: once it's used, it's used

Hollandsnieuwe works on a pay-in-advance basis: you never use more than your balance. Once your bundle runs out, you can't call, browse or text until you top up or the next month starts — so there's no unexpected extra bill. You can top up via the app, the website, or by texting 101.

Contract types: monthly, 1 year or 2 years

Every bundle is available with different contract lengths: cancellable monthly, 1 year, or 2 years. Generally, a longer contract term gets you a better price per month, while cancelling monthly gives you more freedom to stop or switch without a notice period. You can adjust your bundle size up or down for free every month regardless of which contract type you choose — the change takes effect from the following month.

Which network does Hollandsnieuwe use?

Hollandsnieuwe runs on Vodafone's network, including 5G. That means you get the same coverage and speed as Vodafone itself offers, while in practice often paying less than a regular Vodafone subscription.

Who is Hollandsnieuwe a good fit for?

Hollandsnieuwe suits people who'd rather not think about separate calling minutes and data bundles, and who value a simple, predictable system with no surprises on the bill. It's also a good fit if flexibility matters to you — adjusting your bundle every month, or being able to cancel monthly.

How do you choose the right bundle?

For a good estimate, add up your average data use, calling minutes and number of texts: 1GB of data equals roughly 1,000MB, so convert your total monthly data use to MB and add your calling minutes and texts 1-for-1. Then pick the bundle just above that total, so you keep a small margin for busier months.
