Vodafone is one of the three major network operators in the Netherlands and offers several Sim Only plans. You get access to their own 4G and 5G network, unlimited texting, and free roaming throughout the European Union. But which bundles are available exactly, and what do you get in return?

Short answer: Vodafone has Sim Only bundles ranging from 3GB to unlimited data, all with unlimited texting and free EU roaming. Most bundles include 150 calling minutes per month; unlimited calling is included with 50GB, Unlimited Plus, and Unlimited Max, and can be added as an extra to the other bundles. Prices range from €18.50 to €42.50 per month, depending on your data bundle.

What are the Vodafone bundles?

All Vodafone Sim Only bundles have a few things in common:

  • Unlimited texting within the Netherlands
  • 150 calling minutes per month with most bundles; unlimited calling is included with 50GB, Unlimited Plus, and Unlimited Max, and can be added as an extra to the other bundles
  • Free roaming in the EU: you simply use your bundle abroad
  • 1-year or 2-year contract: Vodafone doesn't offer monthly cancellable plans
  • Access to the Vodafone network: their own towers, no resale

The main difference lies in how much data you get and whether unlimited calling is included. The smallest bundle starts at 3GB, the largest offers unlimited data.

Which data bundles can you choose from?

Vodafone offers seven options. Here's an overview of what you get:

3GB

The entry-level bundle. You get 3GB of data, unlimited texting, and 150 calling minutes per month. Suitable if you're mostly on wifi and only use WhatsApp, email, and some browsing on the go. Want unlimited calling? You can add that as an extra. Price: €18.50 per month.

15GB

More room for data. You get 15GB of data, unlimited texting, and 150 calling minutes per month. You can regularly stream a video, use Google Maps while traveling, and be online more often without wifi. Unlimited calling is an additional option. Price: €20 per month.

30GB

For those who regularly watch videos on the go, stream music via Spotify, or make lots of video calls. You get 30GB of data, unlimited texting, and 150 calling minutes per month. Also handy if you sometimes use your phone to get your laptop online (tethering). Unlimited calling can be added as an extra. Price: €24.50 per month.

50GB (Family)

A bundle to share. You get 50GB of data to divide up, plus unlimited calling and texting. Ideal for families or if you want to supply multiple devices with data. Price: €30 per month.

Unlimited Start

Unlimited data and texting in the Netherlands, with 50GB for use in the EU. You get 150 calling minutes per month; unlimited calling is an additional option. Suitable if you use a lot of data but don't call often. Price: €27.50 per month.

Unlimited Plus

Unlimited calling, texting, and data in the Netherlands. You get a larger data bundle for the EU than with Unlimited Start. For those who don't want any limits and are regularly in Europe. Price: €32.50 per month.

Unlimited Max

The most extensive option. Unlimited calling, texting, and data in the Netherlands, plus the largest EU data allowance. Stream whatever you want, download large files, use your phone as a hotspot. Price: €42.50 per month.

All prices are indicative and may change due to promotions or adjustments by Vodafone. Always check the current price on the Vodafone website or via a comparison tool.

What extras do you get with Vodafone?

In addition to the data bundle, Vodafone gives you a few standard benefits:

  • Unlimited texting: standard with all bundles
  • Free roaming in the EU: you simply use your bundle abroad without extra costs
  • VoLTE and VoWiFi: calling via 4G or wifi for better call quality
  • eSIM option: activate your plan digitally, without a physical SIM card
  • 5G network: standard with all bundles, you just need a 5G-capable device

Vodafone also regularly runs promotions where you get a discount on the first few months or a gift card. These promotions change, so it's worth comparing before signing up.

How does Vodafone compare to budget providers?

Vodafone is a premium provider with its own network. This often means better coverage and speed, but also a higher price. Budget providers such as Simyo, Simpel, or Youfone use the network of KPN, Vodafone, or Odido themselves, but are cheaper because they offer less service and have no physical stores.

Looking for the cheapest possible plan? Then a budget provider is often a better choice. In our internal research over 2025, 50+mobiel held the #1 spot the longest as the most affordable Sim Only provider, with 4.5/5 on Trustpilot (44,000+ reviews). For those who value budget but still want good ratings, that's a strong alternative. Good to know: 50+Mobiel is co-owned by the Home of the Brave holding; we compare all providers in the same neutral way.

But there's also a downside to budget providers: customer service is often online-only, and during network outages you're dependent on the main provider. Vodafone has its own stores, a phone helpdesk, and often resolves issues faster because they manage the network themselves.

Who is Vodafone suitable for?

Vodafone is a good fit if:

  • You value your own network with good coverage and speed
  • You're regularly abroad and want free roaming in the EU
  • You want to use 5G: this is included as standard with all bundles, you just need a 5G-capable device
  • You value personal service: stores, phone support, quick help

Vodafone is less suitable if you're mainly looking for the lowest price. In that case, budget providers such as Simyo, Simpel, or 50+mobiel are often €5-10 per month cheaper for comparable data bundles.

How do you choose the right Vodafone bundle?

Ask yourself these questions:

How much data do you currently use?

Check your current usage in your provider's app. Are you under 3GB? Then the 3GB bundle is enough. Are you around 8-12GB? Choose 15GB. Above 20GB? Go for 30GB or an Unlimited bundle.

Do you stream a lot of videos on the go?

YouTube, Netflix, and TikTok eat up data. If you watch an hour of video daily on 4G, you'll quickly need 15-20GB per month. Then 30GB or an Unlimited bundle is the safe choice.

Do you call a lot?

Most bundles include 150 calling minutes per month. Do you call more? Then you can add unlimited calling as an extra, or choose a bundle that already includes unlimited calling: 50GB (Family), Unlimited Plus, or Unlimited Max.

Do you travel abroad often?

All bundles include free EU roaming. You simply use your Dutch bundle in Spain, Germany, or France. Note: with Unlimited Start you get 50GB in the EU, with Unlimited Plus you get more. With Unlimited Max you also get 25GB per month in 6 countries outside Europe. Outside the EU, you pay extra: check Vodafone's international rates in that case.

Not sure between two bundles?

Choose the bundle closest to your current usage and keep an eye on your usage during the first few months. Ask Vodafone about the options for adjusting your bundle during the contract term.
