What You Get and What You Don’t

When you buy from Alt eSIM, you get access to the KPN network in the Netherlands. This means you can use our eSIM to stay connected while traveling in the Netherlands. However, it’s important to note that Alt eSIM is not KPN and we do not sell KPN’s own products. We offer our own travel eSIM that roams onto KPN’s network. You will not get KPN’s customer service or their physical stores for support. Instead, you will rely on Alt eSIM’s customer service for any issues. Our eSIM is a digital product, so you won’t receive a physical SIM card.

Which Destinations This Applies To

Our eSIM roams onto the KPN network in the Netherlands. This means you can use it when traveling to the Netherlands. Whether you are visiting Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or any other city in the Netherlands, you can rely on our eSIM for your connectivity needs. The eSIM will automatically connect to the KPN network once you arrive in the Netherlands. It’s important to remember that this eSIM is specifically for use in the Netherlands and will not work in other countries. If you plan to travel to multiple destinations, you may need to purchase additional eSIMs for each country.

How to Pick a Plan Shape: Daily vs Total Data

When choosing a plan, you have two options: daily plans and total data plans. Daily plans offer a set amount of data per day, such as 1GB or 3GB, and are priced at US$0.74 per day. This is ideal for travelers who want a consistent daily allowance. On the other hand, total data plans offer a larger amount of data for the entire trip, ranging from 5GB to 50GB. This is suitable for travelers who need more flexibility and don’t want to worry about daily limits. The cheapest plan across all destinations is US$3.1, which is a great option for short trips.

How Getting Connected Works

Connecting with our eSIM is straightforward. Once you receive the eSIM, you can activate it through our app or website. After activation, the eSIM will be installed on your device. When you arrive in the Netherlands, your device will automatically connect to the KPN network. There is no need to manually select the network or enter any additional information. The connection process is seamless and hassle-free. It’s important to ensure that your device is compatible with eSIM technology before purchasing. If your device is not compatible, you will not be able to use the eSIM.

What Happens When the Allowance Runs Out

Once your data allowance is used up, your connection speed will drop to 128 kbps. This speed is still usable for basic tasks such as browsing the web, checking emails, and using social media. However, it may be too slow for streaming videos or downloading large files. If you need more data, you can purchase an additional plan through our app or website. The process is simple and can be done on the go. It’s important to monitor your data usage to avoid running out of data at an inconvenient time. You can check your usage at any time through the app or website.
