Tele2 Launches 4G Network in Netherlands

Tele2 Launches 4G Network in Netherlands

Swedish telecom operator, Tele2 is officially launching its 4G network in the Netherlands, marking its entry into the country's mobile market as the fourth operator. The launch sees the Operator introducing several data packages ranging from 1 GB to 24 GB, twice as large as the Netherlands’ current largest available data bundle. 

The company said that it activated its first antenna 24 months ago and has since reached 92% of outdoor population coverage, and targets to have nationwide population coverage by the end of the first quarter next year.

Tele2's 24GB bundle, the largest of its packages, comes with unlimited voice/SMS at a monthly cost of €35 (excluding handset costs). Bundles of 8GB, 4GB and 1,5GB are also combined with unlimited voice/SMS. The smallest data bundle in the range, 1GB, is offered with 100 minutes/SMS. 

Allison Kirkby, CEO and President Tele2 Group
The Netherlands is the sixth country where we have opened our own 4G-infrastructure, and it is our intention to stimulate demand for mobile connectivity, by offering the Dutch population much larger, more affordable 4G data bundles, and thereby offering great value for money

Jeff Dodds, CEO Tele2 Netherlands
It’s time for the Dutch consumers to release the handbrake when it comes to mobile data usage. Over the last three years price levels in the Netherlands have remained amongst the highest in Europe, and we’re here to shake up the market and start a data revolution, with the launch of our new superfast LTE-Advanced mobile network, offering great speed, great coverage and the lowest price.
