did you figure it out eBeth? im just looking at the same thing, there are cards you can pre order - but shipping is ttoo expensive. I just found an 'ESIM' option, but dont know anyone that has used it. 

 

If you are only going to the Netherlands  just put into Google 'where to get SIM cards in (insert airport)" its quick and easy usually a blog tells you step by stem and in pictures how to get there. 

 

I'm just looking at other options as we're doing multiple countries - which is still possible in Europe but sometimes pricier. 

Get a local sim and cheap plan before leaving airport in Europe.

Another option is to use a voip app on wifi or local cell data and forward calls to that voip app number.

@hTideGnow do you know if it is possible to set this up from Canada?

 

HI @eBeth   yes, something like that.  There should be many choices.  Data in Europe is cheap and a lot more providers than Canada

@computergeek541 thank you.  What do people do in Europe for cell phone coverage?

Thanks @hTideGnow Would you suggest going to a T-Mobile store and purchasing pre-paid in the Netherlands?

You get a local sim cell service. Or use wifi everywhere. Or use a provider from here that offers roaming in Europe.

Hi @eBeth   Sorry, no PM service is Europe at all.  Roaming service only available for US

 

Check the local data sim card, they are cheap and comes with much more data than roaming with that price.  Use VoIP app like Fongo or TextNow to call and text

Sorry, but Public Mobile only works in Canada or in the US (with a roaming package).
