Silent eSIM charges $1.08/GB with no daily fee and no expiry. A typical traveller uses 2–4 GB per week. At Silent eSIM rates, that's $2.16–$4.32 for the whole trip — compared to $84 on a Rogers day pass.
You don't have to cancel Rogers
Silent eSIM runs alongside your Rogers SIM as a second line. Every modern iPhone (XS and later), Google Pixel (3 and later), and Samsung Galaxy (S20 and later) supports dual SIM. Keep Rogers active for calls, SMS, and two-factor authentication. Set Silent eSIM as the data line the moment you land in Netherlands. Turn off Rogers data roaming so it never accidentally bills you.
When you leave Netherlands, your Silent eSIM balance doesn't disappear — it carries to your next trip to any of 200+ countries. Load it once, use it for years.
