Can I receive text messages in the Netherlands from Canada with the $ 100 .00 per 365 days prepaid plan or do need a preipad plan with international texting?

Will you be physically in the Netherlands with your Koodo phone? If so, unfortunately prepaid only lets you roam in the US "Roaming services are available in all 50 States in the U.S. (including Alaska and Hawaii) as well Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands" https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/long-distance-travel-and-roaming-prepaid
International roaming is only available with postpaid service, so you wouldn't have service there and an international texting add-on won't change that.
If you mean you're in Canada and texting with someone in the Netherlands, incoming texts are free and unlimited on that plan. International texting only matters for the texts you send from Canada to an international number, otherwise those are charged pay-per-use https://www.koodomobile.com/en/help/canada-wide-and-international-messaging

No. Prepaid only works in Canada and US when you get the US roaming boosters.
It does not work internationally

+4Unfortunately, Koodo prepaid only works across North America. If you just need to receive text messages while overseas, a plan like Freedom prepaid might serve you better!
Thanks everyone! Yes I will physically be in the Netherlands and just need to receive text messages.

Do you have a monthly plan with Koodo already? Or you are seeking the options through different providers included?
How long you will be away?
No I don't have a plan with Koodo. I am looking at all options/providers.
I am moving back to the Netherlands, but I need my Canadian number for at least a few months to wrap up all kind of matters. For these matters I need to be able to receive text messages from Canada.

if you are not a Koodo customer and would like to go with Koodo, you can activate a postpaid plan and roam there. Another way is to get a VoiP number, Fongo is pretty good at it.
In that case, you can port over your number to Fongo for a one-time fee of $25. This would be the cheapest and easiest way to maintain your number without losing any of your calling features to Canadian numbers. https://www.fongo.com/services/fongo-mobile/transfer-your-number
Once the port transfer is complete, you can include the unlimited Canada texting add-on to your account. You can choose from 1 month to 12 months. https://www.fongo.com/services/fongo-mobile/unlimited-texting-add-ons
