Are you looking for a cheap mobile subscription or prepaid? Then Simyo might be something for you. A Simyo SIM-only subscription is a cheap alternative to the expensive subscriptions from Odido, Vodafone or KPN, among others.
Simyo is a so-called MVNO (mobile virtual network operator). Because you use the KPN network, you are assured of optimal reach almost everywhere. You can manage your subscription yourself via the Simyo website or Simyo app.
Simyo for mobile
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Simyo, we try to provide clarity with the help of this article. Simyo is one of the cheaper mobile providers in the Netherlands. This can be done, among other things, by not having physical stores. But also because they do not use the more expensive 5G network and are part of the KPN network. In addition, new technologies such as visual voicemail and multi-SIM for Apple Watch are not yet offered by Simyo, probably to reduce costs so that their subscriptions remain as cheap as possible.
KPN network and 4G
As a Simyo customer, you use the KPN network in the Netherlands. The speed of a mobile data connection is partly determined by the type of network connection. Simyo uses two data networks via KPN: 2G (GPRS/EDGE) and 4G (LTE). Simyo offers 4G as standard (maximum 256 Mbps download and 150 Mbps upload) for Sim Only, Prepaid and telephone subscriptions. The KPN network offers 99% 2G coverage. KPN also has a nationwide network for 4G. look at the KPN coverage map to see where the network has coverage.
Unfortunately, Simyo customers cannot use KPN’s 5G network. It is good to realize that the speeds are not yet super fast these days, because 5G is currently more like 4G+. You can read more about this in the featured article below.
Simyo Complete
If you already have an internet subscription from KPN, you can combine this with a SIM-only subscription from Simyo. You will then receive double bundles every month. That means twice as many minutes and MBs at no extra cost. If you now have 1000 MB, this will be doubled to 2000 MB as long as you continue to combine the two plans.
Number retention
Like all other providers, Simyo also offers the option to take your telephone number with you. Complete this information when taking out the subscription. You can specify the start date yourself and you will be kept informed of the process via email and text message. Your new Simyo subscription will only take effect when the number is transferred to Simyo.
eSIM
Are you interested in a second telephone number, but do not want to be tied to a subscription? Then you can try Simyo’s eSIM options. KPN’s subsidiary also offers prepaid numbers for eSIM. This means that you can request a second telephone number with calling credit for just €5 and activate it via eSIM on your iPhone. You can also replace your physical SIM card with eSIM for all Simyo subscriptions.
Data roaming
Calling, texting and using the internet in the EU falls within your SIM Only bundles. You pay no extra costs within all EU countries, plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Ukraine, Andorra, Norway, Iceland, Monaco and Liechtenstein. If you go outside the EU, you will have to pay for calling, texting and using the internet. You read the conditions here back.
Costs outside your bundle
As soon as your calling and/or internet bundle is activated, your consumption falls within your bundles. There are situations in which you do pay extra costs. For example, when your data bundle has run out. On the Simyo website you can read what these costs are and how you can prevent them.
Manage your bundles yourself
You can perform ‘self-service’ on your subscription via the Simyo website. For example, you can easily adjust your calling, texting and data bundles with just a few clicks. This is also possible via the Simyo app.
The website and app also allow you to switch services on or off yourself, such as calling abroad, calling service numbers, caller ID and call forwarding. You can also view consumption and invoices.
