Absolutely. Nearly all of our Travel eSIMs can be extended directly inside the ZenSim app in just a few taps. You can top up extra data, more days, or even include an additional country on the same eSIM, you’ll find everything in the Zen Garden top up section.
Just sign in, head to the Zen Garden, and you’ll spot the option to top up your eSIM straight away.
Top up plan details: The Netherlands Antilles options mirror the website plans, with an added 10% savings.
Longer trips: If your adventure goes beyond 30 days, you can stack as many top ups as you like. Each one activates only after the previous plan ends, so you can buy them in advance without affecting your current eSIM.
Add more countries: Many of our eSIMs now support multi country top ups. For example, if you're using a Europe eSIM and have a stopover in Dubai, simply add a Dubai top up and it will activate automatically when you land without needing a new installation.
Once activated in Netherlands Antilles, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.
If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.
Very true! Not only that, you can refer as many people as you like to buy our Netherlands Antilles eSIM, you'll earn a A$5 voucher for each referral - and they will also save A$5 on their order.
There's a couple of things to be aware of, firstly they have to be a new customer for this to apply, and you as the referrer can only use one A$5 voucher per order if you happen to refer a whole lot of friends.
You can view your referral performance and grab your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Visit our terms for more info.
Only if you're on one of our unlimited plans - these come with a 3GB daily allowance, which covers the vast majority of travellers comfortably, since most people only use under 1GB a day.
Go over 3GB in a day and your speed will drop to 1Mbps for the rest of that day, resetting back to full speed at midnight.
If you've gone with a fixed-data plan (like 10GB or 20GB) instead of unlimited, there's no daily cap to worry about - you can use your data however you like until it's gone. We'll notify you before you run out, and you can top up instantly through the ZenSim app.
There's no fixed start date the moment you buy it - your plan sits dormant until you actually arrive in Netherlands Antilles, so buying and installing it early doesn't cost you any data or days.
Once you land, provided the eSIM is already installed, it activates automatically and that's your official start date.
Your expiry date follows on from there - the plan ends once either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (or just the days, if you're on unlimited). So a 30-day plan expires 30 days after you land in Netherlands Antilles, regardless of when you originally bought it.
Simplest way is to pop your phone into our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll tell you straight away whether it's good to go with our Netherlands Antilles eSIM and the networks behind it.
If you're still unsure after that, get in touch with us and we'll help you figure it out. And just in case your phone isn't compatible after all, our refund policy means you'll get a full refund - so go ahead and grab a plan without the worry.
We've got a 100% money back guarantee for exactly this kind of situation.
That covers trip cancellations, phones that turn out not to be eSIM-compatible, or just a change of plans that means you no longer need it.
Our full refund policy spells it all out, but the short version is: unable to install or use the eSIM means a full refund, every time.
