From time to time, your prepaid Holland SIM card may need to be recharged
with airtime credit. The mechanism for adding airtime is through the purchase of recharge cards (also called airtime
vouchers), which are available at most convenience stores, tabac shops and petrol stations throughout Holland. They
may be purchased in denominations of 10 Euro or 20 Euro and you receive the equivalent in airtime.
To charge the Netherlands SIM with a recharge card proceed as follows:
Open up the packaging of the recharge card.
Rub off the gray protective layer.
A 14-digit number will be revealed.
Dial 1224
Follow the instructions to load your voucher code.
Remember: Do not purchase another Holland SIM chip when your airtime is depleted!!!

International roaming with a Netherlands SIM card is not the cheapest but it can be convenient if say you cross into France or Germany for a weekend. This way you don’t have to buy a new SIM card for just 2 days in a new country.
Each recharge extends the validity of the SIM card for 12 months from the date of the recharge. If you do not recharge your SIM card within that period, the SIM card and accompanying phone number will expire.
Keeping in touch while in Holland can be very frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Holland SIM card.
Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody’s guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.
A Holland cell phone rental can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a cellular phone rental in the Netherlands can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.
A Holland prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world cell phone into a prepaid Holland cell phone and is more economical then a Netherlands cell phone rental.
Think you go a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
Why pay $1.99/minute for the same call that you can have for FREE with a Holland SIM card? Get your phone number before you leave and be available for pennies/minute and not dollars. And with the money you save you’ll be able to upgrade to a better cell phone
