  An important window to quantum gravity phenomena in low energy noncommutative
(NC) quantum field theories (QFTs) gets represented by a specific form of UV/IR
mixing. Yet another important window to quantum gravity, a holography,
manifests itself in effective QFTs as a distinct UV/IR connection. In matching
these two principles, a useful relationship connecting the UV cutoff
$\Lambda_{\rm UV}$, the IR cutoff $\Lambda_{\rm IR}$ and the scale of
noncommutativity $\Lambda_{\rm NC}$, can be obtained. We show that an effective
QFT endowed with both principles may not be capable to fit disparate
experimental bounds simultaneously, like the muon $g-2$ and the masslessness of
the photon. Also, the constraints from the muon $g-2$ preclude any possibility
to observe the birefringence of the vacuum coming from objects at cosmological
distances. On the other hand, in NC theories without the UV completion, where
the perturbative aspect of the theory (obtained by truncating a power series in
$ \Lambda_{\rm NC}^{-2}$) becomes important, a heuristic estimate of the region
where the perturbative expansion is well-defined $E/ \Lambda_{\rm NC} \lesssim
1$, gets affected when holography is applied by providing the energy of the
system $E$ a $\Lambda_{\rm NC}$-dependent lower limit. This may affect models
which try to infer the scale $\Lambda_{\rm NC}$ by using data from low-energy
experiments.
