Pros and cons
Pros
- The entry price of €6 a month sits below the site median of €9.30, so the headline rate holds up against the wider field.
- The unlimited plan at €10 a month places Simyo at 22 of 173 on unlimited price.
- Billing covers contract, rolling and prepaid, so a contract, a rolling line or prepaid all fit different routines.
- Support spans email, chat and phone, and every line is sim only with an eSIM option, so both setup and help are easy to reach.
Cons
- Data rollover is not offered, so data left at the end of a period is lost rather than carried into the next.
- The service is limited to NL, with NL as the home country, so it does not suit anyone who needs a plan that runs in several markets.
- In the reference plan prices the entry bundle carries minutes and texts and leaves data out, so a data user pays above the €6 entry figure.
- It sells as a virtual network operator, mvno, while GETESA, network, and Lonestar Cell MTN, network, sell on their own networks.
Who it suits
- People in the Netherlands who want a low cost sim-only line and are happy on KPN's network.
- Households running several lines, since a multi line discount is available.
- Travellers who want EU roaming included rather than a separate roaming bundle.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants to buy from the network operator itself rather than through a virtual network operator, where GETESA, network, is the pick.
- People who need a service that works in more than one country, since Simyo stays inside NL; yesss!, network, is the network seller to check for another home market.
- Readers who need unused data to carry into the next period, because data rollover is not part of these plans; Lonestar Cell MTN, network, is the other name on the shortlist.
Where it sits among rivals
On price from, Simyo ranks 119 of 258 brands, so its entry price is competitive without being the cheapest name on the list. Unlimited price tells a different story: 22 of 173 is a much tighter field, and Simyo sits near the front of it. Readers shopping mainly on the monthly rate have plenty of room to compare; readers who want unlimited data will find Simyo among the closer matches. The gap between those ranks is the thing to keep in mind before choosing on a headline number alone.
Pricing
The entry plan starts at €6 a month, and the unlimited plan costs €10 a month. The reference plan prices fill in the middle: a bundle that carries minutes and texts and leaves data out, a promotional bundle that adds data at a lower monthly rate, and a prepaid bundle of unlimited data at reduced speed. Only the promotional bundle is flagged as an intro rate, so treat the other listed figures as the regular monthly cost. The headline prices bracket the range rather than sit side by side. Light users can stay at €6; anyone who would rather stop watching the counter pays more for €10 and gives up the ceiling on data.
What it does well
Every line here is sim only, so nothing is bundled with the tariff and the price is not tied to a handset. Profiles are available as an eSIM, which suits anyone who wants to start using a number without waiting for a card in the post, and the service runs on the newest generation of mobile data for phones that support it. A multi line discount applies when more than one line sits on an account, so a family or a shared household can bring the per line cost down. The clear gap is data rollover: unused data does not carry into the next period, so a heavy month cannot be softened by a quiet one.
Who runs it
Simyo is run by KPN B.V., a company with its home base in the Netherlands, so the brand sits inside an established operator group rather than standing alone. Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers the channels most people try first, including a help centre, email, chat and phone, plus a community board for questions that do not need an agent. Buyers who read the small print on the invoice, or who want to know who stands behind the tariff, get a named legal entity rather than a trading name, with the service aimed at the Dutch market.

Frequently asked questions
What does the cheapest Simyo plan cost?+
The entry plan is €6 a month, and the reference plan prices list it as the bundle that carries minutes and texts and leaves data out, sold on a longer contract. It suits a spare phone or a light line rather than a main line with heavy browsing.
How much is the unlimited plan?+
The unlimited plan is €10 a month. The reference plan prices describe it as a prepaid bundle with unlimited data at reduced speed, so there is no hard cap but the speed drops once you have used a lot in a period. It suits heavy users who prefer a flat rate.
Do I have to sign a long contract?+
Contract lengths run 1, 12 and 24, so you can pick a rolling line, a year or a longer commitment. The entry price of €6 a month is attached to the longer contract, while a rolling or prepaid option gives you an exit without a long tie.
Which billing options are there?+
Billing options are contract, rolling and prepaid. A contract line suits anyone happy to commit, a rolling line suits people who move often, and prepaid suits anyone who wants no commitment. The entry rate of €6 a month comes with the longest tie, so the billing style you pick changes what you pay.
Which network does Simyo use and where does it run?+
Simyo runs on KPN and sells in the Netherlands, so the coverage you get is the host network's coverage rather than a network of its own. That is a fair trade for a low monthly rate, and it is why checking the host's map before you switch is worthwhile.
Who is behind Simyo?+
Simyo is operated by KPN B.V., with its home base in the Netherlands. That means the contract is with a named Dutch company rather than a trading name, which matters if you want to know who stands behind the tariff before you sign up for a longer contract.
How do I get help from Simyo?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a help centre, email, chat, phone and a community board are all available. The phone and chat options suit problems that stop you using the line, while the community board is better for advice on which bundle fits.
Is roaming inside the EU included?+
Roaming in the EU is included on these plans, so travel inside the union does not need a separate bundle. Because the service only sells in the Netherlands, a plan like this suits a home line with roaming rather than a travel only option.
Is Simyo a virtual network operator or the network itself?+
Simyo sells as a virtual network operator, mvno, and uses KPN as its host. GETESA, network, and yesss!, network, sell on their own networks instead, which is the main difference to weigh if you prefer buying from the network itself.
What happens to data I do not use?+
Data rollover is not part of these plans, so anything left at the end of a period is lost. A multi line discount is available instead, which helps if several people share an account. Check the contract length, 1, 12 and 24, before you commit to a longer tie.
