"3" in Netherlands
 

I will be going to Holland on Wednesday and i have a contract with "3" i was wondering will it work in Netherlands?

When I had a '3' phone I had to call them to make sure roaming was on before I went abroad.

In this country "3" use either thier own or Orange networks.. In other countries it's upto the reciprocal agreements that each company has with other companies..

Anyway a quick peek at the THREE site give me

Chill, it should work am on o2 myself and it just picks any network that is available but you'll always have to pay roaming charges.

I think it might just pick KPN Telecom as thats the most used network in Holland with the best 3G coverage.

Roaming calls are capped in the EU are they not? See here

I would see "here", but that's a craptacular link you've posted. Congratulations, you win the award for "most buggered up post" today. :angel:

A more relevant link is this: http://ec.europa.eu/news/environment/090422_1_en.htm

But it only takes effect from July, so expect phone companies to charge through the roof just to go between countries with your phone.

Have you considered a local PAYG sim-card with an old phone?

It works like all other international roaming services.

3 do not operate in the Netherlands. Orange no longer operates in the Netherlands, France Telecom sold its customer base and network to T-Mobile, Holland has a smaller customer base than the UK which is why there arent many networks and thats why Hutchison did not re-launch mobile services.
