Works with caveats

Calls and texts can fall back to 2G. VodafoneZiggo hasn't published a date, but has told the Dutch government it expects to switch 2G off in 2028 or 2029. We haven't found confirmation that 4G Calling works on Vodafone (VodafoneZiggo). 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7).

It works today, but calls on the Sonim XP3plus rely on a part of Vodafone (VodafoneZiggo)'s network with a switch-off on the way. Check the dates below before you commit for years.
