Entry sits at SEK 19, which suits readers who want a flexible Swedish plan with nothing to cancel rather than a long contract.
hollandsnieuwe

Pros and cons
Hallon
Pros
- Sim only across the range, and 5G, esim, wifi calling and data rollover are all on the plan rather than sold as extras.
- Billing runs on rolling and prepaid and plans commit for 1 month, so there is no long tie in.
- Entry starts at SEK 19, with the cheapest plan listed sold without a contract and a bonus data promo on top.
Cons
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line in that set, so a network fault cannot be chased by voice.
- EU roaming is fair use rather than included, while 36.1% of the plans listed here carry EU roaming outright.
- Hallon sells in SE only, so it is a single market plan and offers no service in any other country.
hollandsnieuwe
Pros
- The cheapest overall plan opens at €4.50 a month, and the cheapest large-data plan opens at the same entry figure, so more data does not cost extra at the start.
- Billing runs contract, rolling and prepaid, so a line can be taken as a contract, on a rolling basis or as prepaid without moving to another seller.
- eSIM and wifi calling are both offered on the sim only range, and EU roaming is fair use rather than a pay-per-use extra.
Cons
- The listed plan prices treat €4.50 as the opening figure only, and the cheapest overall plan moves to a higher monthly price after the opening term.
- The largest listed plan caps data and sells unlimited calls as a paid add-on, so heavy callers pay separately for calls on top of the bundle.
- The range is sold in NL on the Vodafone host network, which keeps the line focused on the Dutch market rather than a multi-country footprint.
Who each suits
Hallon
Who it suits
- Readers in SE who want a sim only plan on Tre with 5G, esim and rollover and nothing to cancel.
- People who want the service to run month to month on 1 month, so a change of job or phone costs them nothing.
- Travellers with modest data use who can live with fair use roaming inside the EU.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs to pick up a phone: support runs on email, chat and help centre only, and GETESA is the alternative to check, since it sells as a network rather than a virtual operator.
- Readers who prefer dealing with the network itself: GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! all sell as networks, where Hallon is mvno.
- Frequent EU travellers who want roaming included rather than fair use: Hallon's roaming is fair use, so yesss! is worth comparing on roaming terms.
hollandsnieuwe
Who it suits
- Callers in the Netherlands who want a sim only line and would rather pick a short term than commit for a longer one.
- Anyone who wants contract, rolling and prepaid billing under the same seller instead of moving between companies.
- Households happy to start at a low figure and absorb the step up afterwards, since the entry rate is introductory only.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want to buy from the network itself, since GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! each sell as network, network and network operators.
- Callers who need unlimited data in a single plan, because the listed plan prices cap data and offer unlimited calls as a paid add-on.
- Travellers who expect roaming included without limits, because EU roaming runs under fair use rather than as a full allowance.

Questions about each
Hallon
How much does a Hallon plan cost?+
Prices start at SEK 19. The cheapest plan listed is the smallest allowance on the range, while the cheapest plan with a far bigger allowance sits well above entry, and both are sold without a contract. Hallon bills on rolling and prepaid terms, which covers a rolling and a prepaid setup.
Are Hallon prices introductory, or do they change at renewal?+
The promos add data rather than cut the monthly figure. The smallest plan carries a bonus allowance on top of the data it includes, and the larger plan carries a matching bonus, both without a contract, and plans run month to month on 1 month. Budget on the base figure in case the bonus is not in place.
hollandsnieuwe
What does a Hollandsnieuwe line cost to begin with?+
A sim only line starts at €4.50 a month. Two bundles share that entry figure: the cheapest overall plan with a small data allowance, and the cheapest large-data plan with more data on the same starting price. The larger bundle costs more after the opening period ends.
Is the starting price also the renewal price?+
It is not. The listed plan prices present €4.50 as the opening figure, and the cheapest overall plan moves to a higher monthly price after the opening term ends. The same step applies to the larger bundle, so anyone comparing monthly outgoings over a year should budget with the renewal figure.
