I’m overwhelmed. There’s an excess of info pertaining to US solutions, and I’ve spent hours trying to find this in my little country, The Netherlands. Doesn’t help I’m still green here, learning Dutch.

So… Can yáll Barney-style this process for me? I have a 1yr SIM-ONLY plan with an unlocked phone (e-SIM capable). It’s got a physical sim in it. I know I want to port the number over to the VOIP provider, but what are some good European or specifically Dutch VOIP providers? What’s also the procedure here, huh? Lemme know Lemmy, and thanks in advance (not a phone techy).

    Going from “sim “ to “voip” means that your cell phone will only ever work when it’s on wifi. The reliability will drop significantly Your ability to get maps and things while on the road, in fact you won’t be able to receive or make phone calls/texts/anything while travelling at all (by bus, car or bike)

    … just fyi

      Pair tablet data plan with VoIP only. Service providers hate this trick…

        But is this combination cheaper than a regular subscription, or what’s the deal?
