If you are looking for a mobile phone, tablet, or gadget, Gomibo is the place to go! Among the more than 600 mobile phones you will find well-known brands such as Apple and Samsung, but also less well-known manufacturers such as Realme, Cat, and Fairphone, and high-quality Chinese phones from Xiaomi and OnePlus. Besides this, we also offer a wide range of speakers, headphones, and other accessories.
Gomibo is a part of the Dutch telecom webshop Belsimpel. With an online market share of over 50%, Belsimpel is already a big player in the Dutch market.
The unique possibility of comparing the complete range based on your own needs with just a few clicks, the fast delivery, and the good return conditions are the key to this success. With Gomibo, we want to make this concept, with which we have become the market leader in the Netherlands, accessible for customers throughout Europe!
We deliver from our own stock, so your order will arrive at your home in no time.
The Gomibo/Belsimpel team nowadays consists of over 700 enthusiastic colleagues. In July 2023, we were officially certified as a Great Place to Work. We are constantly looking for ways to improve. Every day, we go above and beyond to raise Gomibo to an even higher level.
We offer the largest range of phones, from well-known brands like Apple and Samsung, to lesser-known brands like Realme, Xiaomi, and Gigaset.
We deliver from our own stock. Because of this, we can deliver orders in the whole of Europe within 1-2 business days. You can return your order for free up to 31 days after you've received it.
Your order is completed within a few clicks.
Our customer service is open every day from 08:00 - 23:00.
Jeroen & Jeroen are the founders of Belsimpel and Gomibo. With over 700 colleagues, they fight to offer the best range of phones and accessories, so you'll never make a wrong choice again. They want to help everyone: whether you already know what you're looking for, or need help and advice. Jeroen & Jeroen have been the face of Belsimpel from August 2015 until December 2017.
It's 2006: Groningen students Jeroen Doorenbos (21) and Jeroen Elkhuizen (23) start web shop Metjelaptoponline.nl from the comfort of their student housing. Two years later, successor Belsimpel.nl is registered and in the following years the web shop wins several prizes, including the Deloitte Technology Fast50 Award in 2012. In 2014 Belsimpel opens its first physical store in Groningen, in The Netherlands. By now Belsimpel has 7 stores spread throughout the Netherlands, where customers can go with all their questions. In 2018 ‘Belsimpel.nl’ becomes ‘Belsimpel’ and a new campaign starts: De Belsimpel Methode™. The launch of the Belsimpel app is also a fact. Starting in 2019, the Bizarre Belsimpel Dagen are a recurring special offer period and Belsimpel expands shipping: you can now order your phone from Germany, Finland, and the United Kingdom, among others. With your Belsimpel account you will have an overview of all your data and previous orders as of August 2019.
In no time at all, Belsimpel has grown from a company in student housing into one of the largest players on the Dutch telecom market, with increasing influence in the European market!
