Looking for help for this senior---going to purchase a Netherlands SIM card upon arrival in Leiden late next week. Plan to do so at shop (Vodafone) so they will insert the SIM. My question is I'm getting confused about how to text/call internal Netherlands phone numbers (we are meeting a friend who will be purchasing a SIM there later and will want to text him). I've read "drop the 0" "drop the 00s", etc. and am getting confused. Do I dial the +, then the country number (it's 31?), then the 9 digit number---what zero do I drop?
Could someone please give me an example of a Netherlands phone number and how I would text to that number with my own Netherlands number! Sorry to be so dense but this seems to be driving me nuts as I am reading about dropping certain numbers! Help! Thank you so much ( I assume the clerk at the store where I purchase the SIM will help me as well, but I've had COVID and my short term memory is shot and want to write this down!). This seems so hard to me! Thanks again!
