SIP Trunk Netherlands — +31 Termination & DID Numbers

The Netherlands is one of Europe's main interconnect points, with Amsterdam's exchanges carrying a large share of the continent's traffic. For numbers, 085 and 088 non-geographic ranges are a common alternative to area-bound 020 or 010 DIDs.

Overview

Routing calls to Netherlands

Traffic to Netherlands leaves our SBCs on more than one upstream carrier per prefix. If a leg toward Amsterdam or Rotterdam starts returning 503s or long post-dial delay, the next attempt goes to another carrier automatically. Calls to The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven follow the same failover logic.

Numbering in Netherlands is managed by ACM. We terminate to geographic, national, mobile and toll-free ranges and price each one separately on the rate sheet. Inside the country, numbers are dialled with a 0 trunk prefix. Strip it before you send the call, and send 31 followed by the national number.

For inbound numbers in Netherlands, plan on paperwork: proof of address and company or identity documents are usually required before a DID goes live. Termination needs no documents beyond normal account checks.
