Buying a SIM card on arrival in Amsterdam

I will land at Amsterdam airport on 8th November. Are there shops selling prepaid SIM cards there? How much time does it take for a SIM to get activated? Any recommendations? I would like a plan with about 100MB data usage and 1 hour each of local and international calls.

Best Answer

I landed at Schiphol yesterday evening (around 21:00). I saw a Lebara stand in the plaza hall where you can get free sim and activate it. You can find the prices here. I used for a while Lebara mobile and quality of calls was reasonable.
