Why a code works where local payment often doesn't
Operators usually sell credit through local payment methods such as iDEAL. A top-up code is a separate product: you buy it with whatever payment method you have, then redeem it against the Dutch number.
Step by step
Pick the number's operator, pick the amount, pay, and receive the code by e-mail. Then redeem it in the operator's app, on their website, or by dialling their top-up code; the operator then adds the credit to the number.
You don't need the SIM in your own phone for this; you can also top up on someone else's behalf.
Mind the country version
A code is tied to the operator's country. A Lycamobile code from another country will not work on a Dutch Lycamobile number, even though the brand is the same. Always pick the Dutch version explicitly.
