Looking for prepaid SIM with internet-access

[Albert Zangerl]

Hello,

sorry for writing in english but unfortunately I dont speak netherlands.

I visit Amsterdam about two times every year and now I am looking for a
prepaid SIM-card for my mobile phone (HTC Hero, Android).
I don't really need to phone with it or write SMS, i just want to use it
for mobile internet.
It would be really helpful if I could use Google Maps and other usefull
software while walking around in Amsterdam.

Is it possible for foreigners to buy a prepaid SIM-card?
Which carrier would you recommend?
How expensive will it be?
What are the aprox. costs for mobile internet?

I'd be thankfull for any hints ant tips.

Thanks in advance,
albert

There are english instructions to buy a Vodafone prepaid sim card here:

http://www.vodafone.nl/english/prepa...id_basic_plan/

And then you can enable 'Carefree Internet' for € 9.50, which provides
you one month of (more or less) unlimited internet. I hope this
translation provides you with enough information:

Thanks very much for the information.

Do you know where I can find a shop to buy a SIM-card? I don't know if
the card will arrive in time if I order it online now.

A shop near Schiphol or the central station would be great.

Greetings,
albert

There are 2 vodafone shops near (10 min walk) Amsterdam CS.

One on 'De Nieuwendijk' and one on 'Rokin' (past Dam square)
