KPN expands data roaming bundles for travel outside EU

As the holiday season approaches and more travelers prepare to head abroad, KPN is expanding its international roaming options with the launch of 13 brand-new data bundles tailored for popular destinations outside the European Union. In addition to these new offerings, the Dutch telecom provider is significantly increasing the data volumes of its existing international bundles, making it easier than ever for customers to stay connected while traveling. These bundles are designed to meet the growing demand for mobile internet, video calls, and messaging from abroad, without the worry of excessive roaming charges. KPN international roaming bundles

Impressively, the updated range of bundles now covers around 80 percent of global roaming traffic, ensuring that most international travelers are included. Whether you’re exploring Asia, Africa, or the Americas, KPN‘s international bundles provide the freedom and flexibility to use your phone just like at home. Customers can activate the bundles quickly and conveniently via the MyKPN app or by sending a simple text message, making travel connectivity seamless and stress-free.

“People don’t want to worry about high bills on holiday. With the new bundles, you can also use our trusted services at your holiday destination outside the EU. Whether it’s video calling with loved ones back home or searching for the most authentic restaurant, everyone will be happy on holiday outside the EU,”

says Robin Clements, EVP Consumer Market at KPN.

KPN has investigated which countries outside the EU are currently the most popular destinations. There are new bundles for Thailand, Japan, and Indonesia. In addition, the data allowance of existing bundles for the US, Canada, Morocco, and Turkey has been increased. In the coming years, KPN will continuously explore the most suitable bundles for various destinations.

Safe Internet Use While on Holiday

When traveling abroad, many holidaymakers are cautious about using mobile data due to the fear of unexpectedly high roaming charges. As a result, they often resort to connecting to public or unsecured local Wi-Fi networks in hotels, restaurants, or airports—networks that may not always be reliable or safe. This can expose them to risks such as data theft, phishing attacks, or compromised personal information.

With KPN’s new international data bundles, travelers can now stay connected using trusted local mobile networks instead of relying on potentially risky Wi-Fi hotspots. This significantly reduces the risk of fraud or cyber threats, providing peace of mind when checking emails, using banking apps, or video calling loved ones back home. The bundles offer a secure and straightforward alternative, allowing users to go online with confidence wherever they are in the world.

For those traveling within the European Union, the “roam like home” regulation continues to apply—meaning mobile data, calls, and texts are charged the same as they are domestically. This makes it even easier to stay connected safely and affordably, whether you’re relaxing on a beach in Spain or exploring a city in France. With KPN’s roaming solutions, travelers can focus on enjoying their holiday while maintaining full control over their mobile usage.

No surprises afterward

When the bundle is almost empty, customers receive a text message alert. This makes unexpected costs a thing of the past. The bundles are valid for 31 days from the moment of ordering. A new bundle can be ordered before an old one runs out or expires.

Get your bundle and go.

The new bundles are available for various countries and can be easily activated before your departure, for example at Schiphol Airport, via the MyKPN app or by text message. More information about the bundles and rates is available on the KPN website.

Also suitable for business travel

The new destinations have also been added to the advantage bundles for entrepreneurs. These bundles can be easily activated by administrators in MyKPN Business. KPN international roaming bundles
