Thanks for the heads up. Probably won't need to make calls the 1st 2 weeks but nice to be able to get incoming ones free.
You should be able to activate and use in NL.
Thanks again for that. So I just turn on the phone and let it do its usual thing and then get the phone number?
And again, one needs the local in-country number to get the in-country rates?
Were you able to use a Canadian credit card to order the SIM?
Yes, transaction went through with no problems.
