Get more out of your professional network: Odido Business and LinkedIn launch exclusive partnership

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 10:01:39 +0200

Starting today, Odido and LinkedIn are announcing an exclusive partnership. Through this new partnership with LinkedIn, Odido is launching a new suite of bundled plans which include LinkedIn Premium. With new bundles for both entrepreneurs and professionals, they can get more opportunities from their professional network. Odido is now the only telecom provider in the Netherlands with such a partnership.

The importance of a strong network
For entrepreneurs and professionals, a good connection today is about more than reach alone. A strong professional network plays a vital role in finding new work, clients, collaborations, and talent. With this partnership, Odido Business and LinkedIn bring together two forms of connection: a reliable mobile network and the world's largest professional network.

Built for entrepreneurs and professionals
Due to this exclusive partnership, Odido is introducing new, extra-advantageous bundles in a LinkedIn Premium subscription. This means entrepreneurs and professionals have a single subscription for both their mobile and their professional network. Within an Unlimited Basic, Plus or Premium subscription, entrepreneurs can choose LinkedIn Premium Business or LinkedIn Premium Career.

In addition, consumers can also use LinkedIn Premium Career. Using three Extras points, they can easily add LinkedIn Premium Career to their Unlimited Premium subscription.

“Entrepreneurs and business professionals expect more from us than just a good connection”, says Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer at Odido. “With this partnership, we are helping them not only to stay reachable, but also grow their professional network. This way, we support professionals in staying visible, creating new opportunities, and growing as an entrepreneur.”

Ora Levit, Ora Levit, VP Product at LinkedIn adds: “LinkedIn Premium helps professionals develop their careers further, find opportunities and be found by others. At the same time, it supports companies and entrepreneurs in growing their brand, customer base, and team. We are proud of our partnership with Odido to give Dutch professionals and businesses access to tools that help them build valuable relationships, further develop their careers, and grow their business.”

Doubly connected
LinkedIn Premium helps people grow their professional network and make the most of it, whether they are building a company, expanding their reach, or working on their career. With access to AI features, market insights, training and other tools, members can turn connections into opportunities. Thanks to the partnership with Odido Business, LinkedIn Premium is now included in Odido’s bundles for small businesses and entrepreneurs. The partnership is aimed in particular at freelancers, SMEs and other entrepreneurs who actively use their professional network to grow their businesses, as well as at anyone for whom LinkedIn is an important part of their daily work or their search for their next career step.

Odido launches outdoor modem for '5G Internet for Business'

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 11:00:29 +0100

In addition to Odido's popular 5G Internet for Business product, the telecom provider today launches a new outdoor modem: 5G Internet Pro. With the introduction of the outdoor modem for Odido's Fixed Wireless Access solution, reception is optimized, even higher speeds can be achieved, and up to twice as many devices can be connected. Since April 2025, businesses have already been benefiting from fast 5G Internet for Business from Odido, and with this new type, FWA will become suitable for more intensive use. Pre-orders for the new variant of 5G Internet for Business can be placed from today onwards.

In April 2025, Odido Business became the first telecom operator to introduce 5G Internet for Business, a business market adaptation of the popular Klik&Klaar Internet product for the consumer market. With 5G Internet for Business, there is more choice in connectivity for the business segment: fixed fiber optic internet or fully wireless via 5G. With the launch of 5G Internet Pro, Odido Business is now taking the next step: even higher speeds and double capacity thanks to a specially developed outdoor modem. This enables Odido to offer a customer-focused solution for business challenges that require more capacity and where continuous online connectivity is crucial, regardless of location or existing infrastructure.

"This solution has been specifically developed for businesses that need more capacity in locations where connectivity is crucial, regardless of their location or local infrastructure. We listen carefully to the needs of our business customers, and with the further development of 5G Internet for Business we are bringing even more choice in connectivity for the business market. Since its introduction in 2025, an increasing number of businesses have been using 5G Internet for Business as their sole connection or as a backup for their fixed fiber or DSL connection," says Martijn Teekens, Chief Commercial Officer at Odido Business.

Fast internet without cables thanks to a powerful outdoor modem
With 5G Internet Pro, Odido makes even more capacity available for more intensive use. This makes the product attractive to a larger group of business users who don't need to immediately switch to a fixed fiber connection. Consider construction site managers working on location or flood management operators who want to share live information about conditions in their area. The powerful outdoor modem of 5G Internet Pro ensures an even better connection to Odido's 5G transmission towers. Thanks to the outdoor modem, the 5G signal is brought directly from outside to indoors. As a result, businesses no longer need to worry about coverage in well-isolated buildings. The Pro edition delivers even more capacity, higher download speeds of up to 500 Mbit/s, maximum upload speeds of 50 Mbit/s, and capacity and stability for twice as many devices (20 instead of 10).

The outdoor modem, SIM card, and WiFi extender for the Pro variant of 5G Internet for Business are installed on location. Businesses that want to be first to use 5G Internet Pro can register now on the dedicated website.

SimWallet from Odido expands to 140 countries

SimWallet from Odido expands to 140 countries

Instant internet access abroad within three minutes, no subscription required

SimWallet, Odido’s eSIM app, is expanding and going international. The app is now available for use in the Netherlands and in more than 140 countries. With SimWallet, users can access mobile internet within three minutes in the Netherlands and abroad, without the need to take out a subscription, regardless of whether they are Odido customers or not. With the expansion of the SimWallet, Odido not only offers greater freedom of choice and flexibility for users in the Netherlands and beyond, but also strengthens SimWallet’s position in the rapidly growing eSIM market.

Following a successful launch in the Netherlands
In April this year, Odido introduced SimWallet to the Dutch market, enabling anyone, even those who are not Odido customers, to connect to the Odido network. The new expansion of SimWallet now also makes it possible to get online in 140 other countries through a single app. This is ideal, for example, when users are on holiday or on a business trip, or when temporary internet access is needed for a tablet, smartwatch, or another eSIM-enabled device. In the Netherlands, SimWallet uses the Odido network; abroad, SimWallet works with multiple roaming partners.

“With SimWallet, we’ve seen in the Netherlands that people don’t always want a subscription, but they do want immediate access to the internet, sometimes for a day, sometimes for longer. This shows once again that things can be done differently in the traditional telecom sector,” says Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer Mass Market at Odido. “We started in the Netherlands on purpose to assess this need, and it proved strong. That demand does not end at the border. That’s why we now offer international bundles with SimWallet for everyone, including non-Odido customers, who want to decide for themselves when and how to use the internet abroad.”

By expanding SimWallet beyond the Dutch border, the app meets the growing demand for staying connected outside the Netherlands. The market for (travel) eSIMs is expected to nearly quintuple by 2030. With SimWallet, Odido takes a new step towards its ambition of showing that things can be done differently, while strengthening the telecom provider’s position in both the national and international eSIM markets.

This is how SimWallet works
The SimWallet app gives everyone easy access to the internet. Users can choose a data bundle for a day, a week, or a month. Thanks to eSIM technology, no physical or digital SIM card is required, and could be installed on any device that supports this technology. On a phone, the eSIM can be installed directly from the app. Activating a SimWallet eSIM on another device is done via a QR code. By scanning this code, the eSIM is activated, giving that device access to Odido’s mobile network or to the mobile networks of roaming partners.

The SimWallet app is available in all major app stores and can be downloaded for free. Users pay per bundle (depending on the duration, amount of data, and country) and are not tied to a subscription or any other obligations.

Rates
Prices depend on the country where the user is located. In the Netherlands, the rates remain the same, for example, unlimited data is available for €2.50 per day. For popular (holiday) destinations, such as Thailand, SimWallet customers pay €3 per day for 2 GB or €10 for 10 GB, valid for 30 days. In the U.S., these rates are €4 and €15, respectively. A complete overview of all rates can be found in the SimWallet app.

Affordable international calls: Odido introduces International Calling

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:02:00 +0200

Long calls with your aunt in Morocco? Or with family, friends, or business contacts around the world? With Odido’s new Bellen Buitenland bundle, staying connected with loved ones abroad has never been easier or more affordable. After all, hearing someone’s voice means more than just sending a message.

Affordable connections worldwide
At Odido, we believe everyone should be able to stay connected. That includes keeping in touch with family, friends, or business contacts abroad in a way that suits your needs. That’s why today we are introducing two new bundles for international calls: Bellen EU + US and Bellen Wereld. All Odido customers, from consumers to large business customers, can use the call bundles. The right bundle depends on where you want to call.

Bellen EU + VS: Unlimited calls from the Netherlands to the European Union and the United States. Available for €1.50 per month, or 1 extra point for Unlimited Plus and Premium subscriptions.

Bellen Wereld: additional countries outside Europe. Priced at €5.00 per month, or 2 extra points with an Unlimited Plus or Premium subscription. The first 30 minutes of calls from the Netherlands to these countries are included. Want to talk longer? Enjoy low rates starting at just €0.05 per minute.

Both bundles can be activated or canceled on a monthly basis via My Odido or the Odido App.

The full overview of international rates is available here. Rates apply to all fixed and mobile numbers.

Odido first to enable ‘Roam Like at Home’ on the North Sea

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:03:00 +0200

Together with maritime provider Tampnet, Odido is launching Odido@Sea: Europe’s largest integrated offshore mobile network for the North Sea. Starting 1 January 2026, Odido customers will be able to use their phones at regular European rates under the individual Roam Like at Home scheme while being on the North Sea. The same will also apply to customers of other European operators. This strategic partnership offers both businesses and consumers improved coverage on offshore platforms, more efficient business applications, and seamless connectivity across the North Sea. With this move, Odido strengthens its leading position as a mobile provider while making its cutting-edge network accessible to both existing and new international users at sea.

Connectivity on the North Sea as at home
Until now, users at sea have had to pay steep prices for mobile connectivity. Roaming costs were high, while satellite and maritime services were even more expensive. By joining forces with Tampnet, Odido is putting an end to this situation. From 2026 onwards, the entire North Sea will fall under the individual European Roam Like at Home scheme: customers will pay the same rates as in the Netherlands and across Europe, with calls and data simply included in their bundle.

The mobile network now provides a reliable and affordable alternative to costly satellite services. Over the course of next year, Odido@Sea will also be expanded for international users, allowing even more people to benefit from this breakthrough in offshore connectivity.

“At Odido, we believe everyone should be able to stay connected, even at open sea. Today, if you take a boat to England, you risk paying exorbitant rates for mobile calls and data,” says Gero Niemeyer, CFO at Odido. “With Odido@Sea we are proving once again that things can be done differently. We continue to challenge conventions and ensure that as many mobile users as possible can rely on our network.”

Odido@Sea: Europe’s largest offshore network
From next year, users in the international waters of the North Sea will easily be able to connect to the Odido@Sea network. This extensive network covers close to 300,000 km² and includes the international waters of the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, and Norway, among others. Through this exclusive collaboration, Tampnet’s existing offshore network and Odido’s mobile infrastructure are fully integrated into one powerful network.

This integration brings immediate benefits: all Odido’s roaming partners worldwide will gain faster access to the entire offshore network, including future expansions beyond the North Sea. The result is Europe’s largest and most integrated offshore mobile network: a reliable connection in areas previously served only by costly satellite services.

"This partnership means that offshore workers can finally stay connected without worrying about high roaming costs. For people working weeks at sea, being able to use their phones like at home is more than convenience, it’s quality of life,” says Elie Hanna, CEO of Tampnet.

Innovation at sea
In addition to consumer benefits, the collaboration also creates extra value for business and government markets. It enables more advanced mobile services at sea and better alignment of private 5G networks, edge computing, and satcom for offshore platforms and shipping. It will also support the rollout of push-to-talk services, 5G Standalone, and network slicing for business users. This opens up new opportunities such as deploying drones between land and sea to monitor ships and wind farms, or to transport goods, maintenance equipment, and other supplies more efficiently.

Starting 1 January 2026
From 1 January next year, Odido customers—including those with Ben and Simpel—will be able to use the offshore network within their individual Roam Like at Home bundle. Later in the year, the network will gradually be activated and made available to all other international users. Customers will receive the familiar “Welcome to” SMS once they connect to the Tampnet or Odido network upon entering the area.

Odido launches enhanced device insurance in partnership with Assurant

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 11:05:00 +0200

Odido launches enhanced device insurance in partnership with Assurant
With broader coverage, competitive premiums, and fast replacements — and uniquely in the Netherlands: service and support directly from Apple.

Our phones, tablets, and smartwatches now carry our entire digital lives. So when something goes wrong, we want a quick solution. That’s why Odido is launching an enhanced device insurance with expanded coverage, competitive premiums, and faster service. What makes it truly unique in the Netherlands is the inclusion of AppleCare Services: iPhone customers will receive service and support directly from Apple. The insurance has been developed in collaboration with new partner Assurant and is available from 8 September.

Includes AppleCare Services: unique in the Netherlands
Odido is the only authorized Apple partner in the Netherlands offering iPhone customers insurance that includes AppleCare Services — giving them direct access to Apple service and support. This allows customers to have certified repairs carried out at Apple Stores or authorized Apple service providers using genuine Apple parts. They can also contact Apple Support directly.

From a drop in the toilet to a bold theft or simply losing your device — accidents happen. With the new device insurance from Odido and Assurant, customers are covered against damage, theft, and loss. If a claim is approved between Monday and Saturday before 2:30 p.m., the customer will receive a replacement device the same day or the next. Prefer to keep your own device? You can opt for an express repair instead.

Standard and Carefree
The device insurance is available for phones, tablets, and smartwatches in two options. Standard covers damage — including accessories damaged or stolen at the same time. Carefree adds theft and loss (loss coverage applies only to phone insurance). What’s new is that the warranty now continues indefinitely as long as the insurance is active (previously limited to 24 months), and in many cases, premiums are lower than before.

Tisha van Lammeren, CCO Mass Market at Odido, says: “Odido is the only telecom provider in the Netherlands to offer AppleCare Services. We believe technology should always work for you — and when it doesn’t, you need to be able to rely on a fast solution so you can get back to what matters. With our new device insurance, developed with Assurant, we offer that peace of mind.”

Felipe Sanchez, President of Assurant Europe, adds: "We’re excited to offer Odido customers a premium protection plan for the devices that are so central to their digital lives. We understand that when something goes wrong, every hour without your phone can be a real inconvenience. That’s why our solution for Odido is designed to get customers’ phones repaired or replaced as quickly as possible."

About Assurant
Assurant, Inc. is a premier global protection company that partners with the world’s leading brands to safeguard and service connected devices, homes, and automobiles. As a Fortune 500 company operating in 21 countries, Assurant leverages data-driven technology solutions to provide exceptional customer experiences. Learn more at assurant.com.

Odido Launches "Start Slim": A Smart Start in the Digital World

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 08:54:00 +0200

Your 12-year-old wants Instagram, the neighbor’s kids are all on TikTok, but government guidelines recommend waiting until age 15. So how do you make the right decision for your child and your family? While children grow up in a world where being online is second nature, their parents are searching for guidance: how can you help your child grow up responsibly with technology? Digital tools certainly offer great opportunities, but they also come with challenges. That's why it’s crucial to teach kids digital skills from an early age.To support parents in this journey, Odido today launches Start Slim – a new platform offering practical tools to help parents and children explore the digital world together, step by step. From screen time tips to online safety advice and guidance on getting a first smartphone, the platform also includes two specially designed mobile plans that give children independence – within limits set by their parents.

Conscious Phone Use
Smartphones and the internet have become an integral part of life. In the Netherlands, over 90% of 12-year-olds use a mobile phone¹. At the same time, awareness is growing among parents and experts that boundaries are needed when it comes to access to the online world.

To help parents introduce children to the benefits of the internet and technology in a responsible way, Odido is launching Start Slim.

This new platform provides a practical guide filled with tips and advice on screen time, online behavior, and digital risks. It gives parents concrete tools to start the conversation with their children in a way that fits their age and world. Odido has partnered with Internet Matters, a nonprofit organization committed to children’s digital safety and wellbeing.

“Technology and connectivity are deeply embedded in our daily lives. That’s a wonderful thing, but it can also be a challenge for both parents and children. As a telecom provider, we believe we have an important role to play in supporting families at every stage – in a way that aligns with what parents find important,” says Tisha van Lammeren, CCO Mass Market.

Start Slim is part of Odido’s broader commitment to encouraging conscious phone use. The company works with foundations like Join Us and MIND Us to strengthen young people’s mental resilience, launched the “Use Your Voice” campaign to combat loneliness, and introduced “The Little Phonebook” to encourage reading. With “Screen-Free Friday”, Odido and NOC*NSF challenge young people to go offline and get moving.

Mobile plans that grow with you
Start Slim also offers two mobile plans tailored to different developmental stages – from a first smartwatch to a first smartphone. With age-appropriate features and smart settings, children gradually learn how to use a smartwatch, smartphone, and data – all while staying safe online.

Mini is for children who are not yet ready for a smartphone. The kids’ smartwatch keeps children and parents connected – allowing messages to be sent and received in a safe, closed environment.
Junior gives teens more freedom with a smartphone subscription, but within clear boundaries. Default blocks² help prevent unexpected costs, while parents can manage the settings via the My Odido app.

Both plans ensure children can always call their parents – even if they’ve used up their minutes – at no extra cost. This way, kids stay independently connected within limits defined by their parents.

Van Lammeren adds: “As a parent, you want to make sure there’s still room for exercise, seeing friends, getting enough sleep, and healthy development – not just screen time. At the same time, you want to give your child increasing freedom, like going to sports practice alone or making plans online with friends – while staying involved. Start Slim supports that balance, and we’ll continue developing the platform in collaboration with experts and parents. So that digital life remains enjoyable – and in balance.”

Availability
Start Slim is available starting today at odido.nl/kind. The informational platform is free and accessible to all parents in the Netherlands. The Mini and Junior subscriptions are available starting from €5.50 (including smartwatch) and €9.50 per month (SIM Only), respectively.

About Internet Matters
Internet Matters is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to the digital safety and wellbeing of children. Internet Matters supports parents and professionals with comprehensive resources and expert guidance to help them navigate the ever-changing world of child internet safety. The organisation partners with technology companies, educational institutions, and parents to assist children in being safe and positive online.

¹ Source: Media Use Monitor 7–12 years
² For example, calls to premium-rate numbers (0900), international numbers, and roaming are blocked by default. Voicemail is disabled, and in-app purchases are restricted. Junior also comes with Extra Safe Online protection, guarding against phishing, viruses, and malware.

Odido Launches SimWallet: On-Demand 5G Internet for Everyone in the Netherlands

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 09:02:00 +0200

Today, Odido announces the launch of SimWallet, a standalone mobile app that gives users near-instant access to Odido’s high-performance 5G network, whether they’re an existing customer or not. With this innovative solution, Odido becomes the first major telecom provider in the Netherlands to offer true on-demand 5G access. With SimWallet, users can go online for a full day or even 30 days at a fixed low rate, and no plan is required. Whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, laptop with eSIM, or setting up internet access for someone else, SimWallet brings total freedom and flexibility. It responds directly to the rising demand for temporary but immediate 5G access. SimWallet is now available in all major app stores.

On-demand 5G Internet with SimWallet from Odido
Odido is committed to providing both consumers and business customers with the best possible network experience, powered by the latest innovations. Following earlier launches like Klik&Klaar Internet and 5G Internet for Business, the Company now introduces its latest innovation on its robust 5G infrastructure: SimWallet.

Using the app, users can activate 5G access on any eSIM-compatible device, like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, in under three minutes. No contracts, no hassle. With unlimited data* and fast, reliable connectivity, users can stay online wherever and whenever they want.

"At Odido, we truly want to do things differently. The telecom market is still constrained by the traditional norms, especially when it comes to convenience and contract freedom. We aim to break away from that. SimWallet is a significant step forward in that ambition. Our user-friendly app gives everyone in the Netherlands access to the country's top 5G network in under three minutes, whether you're an Odido customer or not, and whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or even a tracker. It's like a digital eSIM wallet: you can manage multiple eSIMs across different devices from one app, and stay connected without surprise costs, whether it's for a day, a few days, or a full month, all on one of the world’s best mobile networks," says Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer Mass Market at Odido.

How It Works
SimWallet provides instant access to Odido’s leading mobile network, even for non-customers. Whether you're at a festival with weak coverage, hosting international visitors, keeping your kids entertained during a trip, or need a fast connection for a tablet, smartwatch, or laptop, SimWallet has you covered.

Available in all major app stores, the app allows users to install an eSIM for free and pay in advance for unlimited data* via Odido’s 5G network. If you’re using a smartphone, the eSIM installs directly from the app on the device. For other devices, simply scan a QR code to activate the eSIM and connect to the network.

Pricing:

€2.50 for 24 hours of unlimited data (up to 100 Mbps)
€25 for 30 days (up to 100 Mbps)
€20 for 30 days (up to 20 Mbps)

A Network That Keeps Winning
With SimWallet, users connect via Odido’s next-generation 5G network. In 2024, Odido became the first Dutch provider to activate the 3.5GHz band on its 5G network. Today, over 85% of Odido's cell towers across the Netherlands have been upgraded to support this advanced technology.

All Odido customers now benefit from a faster, more modern mobile experience. Strategic innovations like Massive MIMO and a strong partnership with Ericsson have significantly boosted both speed and capacity. These upgrades have enabled cutting-edge offerings such as Klik&Klaar Internet, 5G Internet for Business, and now SimWallet.

These investments haven’t gone unnoticed. Odido is the only Dutch provider to have received the highest recognition from all three of the world’s leading benchmarking institutions — OpenSignal, umlaut, and Ookla. These results solidify Odido’s leadership position in 5G innovation and performance.

Odido Introduces ‘5G Internet for Business’

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 12:17:00 +0100

Odido Business today announces 5G Internet for Businesses. While consumers have already been able to benefit from fast and reliable internet with Klik&Klaar Internet, this solution is now also available for businesses in The Netherlands: 5G Internet for Businesses. 5G Internet for Businesses also uses Odido’s recently upgraded and modernized mobile network. With 5G Internet for Businesses, business users can get online quickly. 5G Internet for Businesses will be available to Odido’s business customers starting April 15.

More freedom of choice
In September last year, Odido revolutionized consumer internet with Klik&Klaar Internet. Now, with 5G Internet for Businesses, companies gain the same freedom to choose a connection that best suits their needs. Not every location in the Netherlands has access to fiber-optic or DSL connections, and installing cables isn’t always feasible — especially for businesses that change locations frequently. Thanks to Odido’s nationwide coverage, 5G Internet for Businesses keeps teams connected no matter where they operate, providing an alternative to traditional internet.

“The development of 5G Internet for Businesses aligns perfectly with Odido’s strategy to ensure everyone has access to a reliable, high-quality network,” says Martijn Teekens, Chief Commercial Officer Enterprise at Odido. “We’re offering business users a flexible solution that fits their needs — from construction managers on-site to cargo ships sharing live data about their position and load.”

Lightning-Fast 5G Network
The ability to deliver an alternative is made possible by Odido’s robust 5G network, utilizing the 3.5 GHz frequency band. This band enables higher mobile speeds, even in areas where fiber and broad band speeds have not been available so far. The upgraded infrastructure, including the 3,5GHz frequency, also increases Odido’s data capacity by two to four times, paving the way for innovations like Klik&Klaar Internet and 5G Internet for Businesses.

Odido’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Renowned speed-test organization Ookla recently named Odido the fastest 5G network in the Netherlands, while benchmark authority umlaut awarded the network its highest possible rating of "outstanding," ranking it among the top two mobile networks in the world.

How It Works
For 5G Internet for Businesses, Odido collaborates with its partners to ensure optimal performance. Together, they provide hardware specifically selected to fully support Odido’s enhanced 5G Internet. The setup is simple: insert an Odido Business 5G Internet SIM card into the new 5G modem, and you’re ready to go. With 5G Internet for Business, up to 20 employees or devices can enjoy lightning-fast internet from one central location, with download speeds of up to 300 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 30 Mbps.

Businesses eager to be among the first to access 5G Internet for Business can sign up now via the dedicated website. Starting April 15, 5G for Business will be available to all business users.

Klik&Klaar Internet from Odido: The alternative to wired home internet is now available nationwide

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 10:10:00 +0200

Odido is taking an important step forward in the internet market. From today, Klik&Klaar Internet from Odido is available nationwide in the Netherlands. Klik&Klaar Internet offers a fast and reliable alternative to wired home internet, even in areas where this was previously not possible. On Friday, October 11, entrepreneurs and residents in the Bergen op Zoom area officially received the first units of Klik&Klaar Internet from Tisha van Lammeren, CCO at Odido. During the handover, the importance of accessible, high-quality home internet across the Netherlands was emphasized.

Freedom of choice
With nationwide availability, Klik&Klaar Internet provides a first solution for more than 20,000 addresses where, for example, no fiber is being installed or where fixed internet relies on a single provider. “In early September, we successfully tested Klik&Klaar Internet in one of these areas, in the Bergen op Zoom region,” says Tisha van Lammeren, CCO at Odido. “Klik&Klaar Internet fits perfectly within our strategy to ensure that everyone can participate and now has easier access to a reliable and affordable network.”

Odido’s ability to offer an alternative to wired home internet is made possible by its upgraded, high-performance 5G network operating on the 3.5GHz frequency band. Odido is a frontrunner in the Netherlands in activating the 3.5GHz band, allowing customers to enjoy high internet speeds even in areas where this was previously impossible.

Plug & Play
Klik&Klaar Internet is a flexible and user-friendly option for customers looking for an internet-only solution. Thanks to its plug & play setup, the new high-speed internet service can be used immediately upon arrival, guided by a simple installation app that helps locate the best reception in the home.

Klik&Klaar Internet: Odido first provider in the Netherlands to introduce fast alternative to wired internet at home

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0200

Today Odido announces a full-fledged new choice for fixed internet. Odido's Klik&Klaar Internet is a new product with the benefits of high speed internet at home, wherever you are in the Netherlands. Thanks to the Klik&Klaar modem, users are no longer dependent on the type of fixed internet connection available at the address. Klik&Klaar Internet uses Odido's 5G network and the recently acquired 3,5 GHz frequencies for high-speed internet. With the national rollout of 3,5 GHz in the coming years, Klik&Klaar Internet will also be the first solution for the nearly 20,000 addresses in the Netherlands where fibre optic cable is not being installed. Klik&Klaar Internet will be available this fall.

Lightning-fast 5G network
Thanks to the renewed, strong mobile 5G network that uses the 3,5 GHz frequencies, Odido can offer a full-fledged alternative for fast Internet at home with Klik&Klaar Internet. The 3,5 GHz band allows for even higher mobile speeds. Odido is leading the way in the Netherlands in activating the 3,5 GHz band, allowing its customers to benefit from high internet speeds, even in places where this was not previously possible. Odido already offers coverage of 75 to 80 percent of all of the Netherlands. By the end of this year, all of Odido's antennas throughout the Netherlands will be ready to use the 3,5 GHz frequency.

The development of Klik&Klaar Internet Odido has been working on for the past year fits perfectly within Odido's strategy to ensure everyone can participate and access a reliable network of superior quality.

Odido therefore unveils the new innovation on the day of the company's 1-year anniversary to get started with the first customer tests. “Odido started a year ago with a clear mission: everyone should be able to participate. We show that we can do things differently and put our customers at the center of this,” says Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer Mass Market at Odido. “With Klik&Klaar Internet, we are therefore taking another important step, being the first provider to offer a full, fast and user-friendly alternative for all households in the Netherlands, even in places where this was not previously available.”

How it works
You don't have to wait for Klik&Klaar Internet. With its plug-and-play design, the new high-speed internet solution can be used immediately upon receipt through a simple installation app. Users will pay a surprisingly low monthly price for Klik&Klaar Internet. Starting this fall, Klik&Klaar Internet will be available to everyone through Odido shops and online via the website.

Klik&Klaar Internet no longer requires a fixed Internet connection and you are therefore not depending on which provider provides services in your zip code, as the modem connects directly to Odido's 5G network. This new network uses the recently acquired 3,5 GHz frequencies. This makes it possible to offer customers even higher mobile speeds of up to 300 Mbit/s. As a result, fast and reliable internet is now available everywhere.

“In the Netherlands, there are almost 20,000 addresses where fiber optic is not installed. In addition, there are zip codes that depend on one provider for fixed Internet. With Klik&Klaar Internet we ensure that people have freedom of choice and that everyone in the Netherlands can be connected to lightning-fast internet. Whether that is with our fiber optic offer, or with Klik&Klaar Internet,” Van Lammeren concludes.

Odido to become Official Partner and innovation partner of FC Utrecht from next season

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 12:15:00 +0200

From the upcoming season, Odido will be both the Official Partner and Innovation Partner of FC Utrecht. The telecom provider, whose logo has been visible on FC Utrecht's shirts since September, will thus remain connected to the club from the Domstad.

Odido's logo has adorned FC Utrecht's jerseys since September, following sustainable partnerships with previous frontrunners T-Mobile and Tele2. Each brand, along with FC Utrecht, successfully achieved the intended name recognition and content awareness through these partnerships.

Innovations and social contributions
One of the unique achievements was the creation of an Innovation Hub in Stadion Galgenwaard, which continues to be successfully visited. Other notable initiatives include the "Eindbaas" activations, various logo swaps, and the social activation where children from the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital in Utrecht could take a digital tour of Stadion Galgenwaard via a robot. Additionally, Odido co-founded the innovation platform FC Utrecht Next.

Thijs van Es, General Director of FC Utrecht, said: "We want to thank Odido for the many years of collaboration. Besides achieving their own objectives, Odido has also always supported our goals as the main sponsor. We have been able to work together in a very pleasant manner across many domains, making the partnership fruitful. Furthermore, the added value of a strong brand like Odido has become evident. We are very pleased that we will remain connected with Odido in the coming year as they will continue to be visible in the stadium and active in our business network as an Official Partner."

Martijn Teekens, Chief Commercial Officer Enterprise at Odido, said: "At Odido, we are proud of our long-term collaboration with FC Utrecht. Our partnership has not only increased our brand awareness but has also allowed us to make valuable contributions to the community. As Official Partner and Innovation Partner, we will continue to support the club's ambitions by making the latest technology available in and around the stadium. At Odido, we work from a technology standpoint, but people always come first. We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration in a different role."

Odido believes it is important for people to stay connected offline as well and therefore aims to inspire to be more active. In addition to the partnership with FC Utrecht, Odido will also remain a partner of Dutch sports and TeamNL in the coming years.

This access marks an important step in the commitment of the two telecom providers to offer their customers an unparalleled network experience.

With this upgrade to Odido’s 5G network, Ben and Simpel demonstrate that customer experience is their top priority and that they continuously optimize it. By enabling customers to get the most out of the network and rewarding them for choosing Ben or Simpel, they are giving 5G access as a gift. Existing customers have been personally informed of these positive changes over the past few days. Future customers will also be offered 5G as standard.

Automatic Upgrade for All Customers
To use the 5G service, customers only need a 5G-compatible device and an active Ben or Simpel subscription. 5G access is automatically activated, allowing customers to immediately enjoy a better network experience without any effort or additional costs.

"We strive to always offer our customers the best services and technologies," says Leo Hensen, Chief Marketing Officer of Odido, Ben, and Simpel. "With the introduction of 5G access, we want our customers to benefit from the latest technological innovations without having to pay extra. This perfectly aligns with our mission to provide high-quality, affordable telecommunications services."

Odido to be the first Dutch provider to offer Teams Phone Mobile

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 11:00:00 +0100

As a provider of customized total solutions for the business market, Odido aims to enable a new level of mobile integration. This allows entrepreneurial Netherlands to work optimally in a hybrid manner. Therefore, Odido will be the first Dutch provider to offer Teams Phone Mobile. With this new connectivity solution, Microsoft integrates the Teams environment with Odido's mobile network. This enables employees to use both mobile calling and Teams features with a single business number. This leads to increased efficiency and flexibility in the hybrid workplace, along with centralized management of mobile and Teams telephony for IT managers. The new solution is expected to be available in the second half of this year.

Odido's customized solutions focus on three main themes, including smarter working. Within this theme, facilitating hybrid working is central. Good accessibility is crucial here. Combining remote work and office work is also particularly popular. According to research by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), in 2023, as much as 52% of all workers did this regularly. Employers are constantly looking for ways to optimize workflows and increase efficiency and productivity. By offering Teams Phone Mobile, Odido responds to the growing demand for flexible and modern connectivity solutions in the hybrid work environment. Earlier, Odido also offered Operator Connect as the first Dutch provider.

Lower costs and increased productivity
By providing employees with a single business number for their mobile phone and Teams, they can seamlessly switch between devices without having to log in again to different applications. Users have a single call history, allowing them to take calls on any device and effortlessly switch between devices during a call. Moreover, the availability status is synchronized between Teams and the phone network, providing an overview of all business contact moments.

The seamless integration between existing Teams environments and Odido's network is the only mobile integration supported by Microsoft 365. This renders external applications unnecessary. Central management of phone and Teams calls on one platform also reduces administrative costs for IT managers, as they only need to manage one system. Additionally, Teams Phone Mobile meets the highest security standards, allowing companies to rely on a secure communication environment.

Customized Total Solutions
Martijn Teekens, Chief Commercial Officer Enterprise at Odido: "As a provider of customized total solutions, we aim to relieve entrepreneurial Netherlands of connectivity burdens so that they can fully focus on their own business operations. In order to deliver the best customer experience and service, we collaborate with reputable partners such as Microsoft to enable a new level of mobile integration. Thanks in part to our strong partner network, we once again succeed in being the first in the market to offer a connectivity solution, allowing us to better serve our business customers."

Hermien Roebersen, Partner Lead at Microsoft Netherlands, also welcomes the new opportunities that the collaboration between Microsoft and Odido brings: "With Teams Phone Mobile, organizations can provide their hybrid workers with a better mobile experience that meets the organization's security and compliance rules. Organizations can also reduce costs by consolidating technology. Thanks to Odido's experience with both Microsoft Teams telephony and fixed and mobile communication, they can bring communication together into an integrated experience.

Increase in data bundles for existing customers
Odido observes an annual increase in total mobile data consumption on its mobile network. To ensure that existing customers with limited data bundles can keep up with this trend, Odido has gratuitously increased over 80% of its current data bundles. This aligns with the telecom provider's ambition to become the undisputed Customer Champion. Customers eligible for the free upgrade of their data bundle will receive a monthly gift of at least 1GB and up to 5GB, depending on their current data bundle. For customers who can combine multiple subscriptions in ‘Klantvoordeel’, this upgraded data bundle is also doubled monthly.

Enjoying more mobile data
Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer Mass Market at Odido, stated: "We believe that everyone should always stay connected; that's part of Odido's solutions. In a time when total data consumption continues to rise, we want to give our loyal customers more mobile data and provide something extra. And what better way than in the form of more data? Our mobile network was classified as 'outstanding' in February, ranking among the top 3 globally. With all the extra data, we give our customers more opportunities to continue using our world-class mobile network and worry less about their data limits."
