This summer i will be going to Holland, and i would also like to take my smart phone with me ( android ) and use it for data ( google maps, emails web browsing photo emails and so on) with my old non smart phone being relegated to calls/texts only.
ive been doing a bit of research and it appears the cheapest solution would be to buy a Dutch Vodafone sim, ive seen a couple of prepaid simoptions, one for €9.99 for the sim card + €10 ( roughly) for a carefree internet Blox add on, and another sim only deal for €20 with 1gb data included, Pre paid smartphone sim as detailed below: cant post links, search google for "Prepaid Smartphone Sim Only 1GB" its the .nl site
but where can i buy one of these, in the UK before i go to Holland ?
When I arrive in Holland ( schipol) I wont have much if any time to find the phone shop.
Ive tried asking in some UK Vodafone shops, but they dont seem to know anything about the data add ons/smartphone pre paid sims in Holland.

Can't help buying a sim, but depending on how much data you will use of course,Vodafone do a £2 a day add on that gives you 25MB of data. Probably not enough if you want to use maps and photo's but enough for checking emails.0
