The Hague - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you have any recommendations regarding mobile phones? Did you keep your home-country plan or use a local provider?

We kept our U.S. phones with an international plan (which was great for traveling all over Europe). However, we also got local numbers that we put on older phones. We tried the dual-sim thing, but it just never really worked well. - Mar 2025


It's around 15-25 euros/month for a plan. I've heard of quite a few people keeping their phone plans from other EU posts that are cheaper and just using roaming forever. - May 2022


Brought an unlocked iPhone and stopped at the first phone store I saw, Vodaphone. No complaints. - Feb 2021

Cheap to get here or you can bring an unlocked phone and get a sim card. - Feb 2015
