Pros and cons
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.
sim.de
Pros
- Entry pricing of €6.99 is below the site median of €9.30
- The Unlimited on demand plan costs €19.99, under the site median unlimited price of €23.19
- Contract terms run 1 and 24, so a plan can sit on a monthly term or a longer one
Cons
- The Unlimited on demand plan is tied to the longer of 1 and 24, so unlimited data is not offered on a monthly term
- Service runs in DE only, so the tariffs are not offered outside that market
- As an mvno, sim.de sells on the 1&1 network rather than owning it, unlike the network operators getesa, yesss! and Lonestar Cell MTN
Who each suits
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.
sim.de
Who it suits
- People in DE who want a data heavy sim only line without paying for a handset
- Travellers from DE who want roaming included and reach across 33 countries
- Households that want one provider offering both a short monthly term and a longer fixed contract
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers outside DE, since the service is a single market
- People who want a handset bundled with the tariff, as the plans are sim only
- Buyers who want unlimited data on a rolling monthly basis, since the Unlimited on demand plan sits on the longer of 1 and 24
Questions about each
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.
sim.de
How much does a sim.de sim only plan cost to start with?+
The cheapest way in is the entry data plan at €6.99 per month, and it can run on a monthly term rather than a long contract. The larger data plan and the Unlimited on demand plan sit on the longer of 1 and 24 instead.
How much is unlimited data on sim.de?+
The Unlimited on demand plan costs €19.99 per month, and it is tied to the longer of the contract options, 1 and 24. That price sits under the site median unlimited price of €23.19, but the commitment is the part to weigh.
