Our verdict on each
AirTalk Wireless
AirTalk Wireless suits US shoppers who want the cheapest entry point and the cheapest unlimited plan in the comparison, with fees of $0 and $0 at the top of the price ranking. The trade-off is that it runs on AT&T and T-Mobile as an MVNO, so coverage follows those host networks rather than its own.
LABAS
LABAS is a Lithuanian prepaid MVNO on the Bite network that suits anyone wanting a short, flexible SIM only SIM with eSIM and wifi calling at low cost. It ranks 19 of 258 on price from, with plans from €1.

Pros and cons
AirTalk Wireless
Pros
- Both the entry price and the unlimited plan sit at the top of the price ranking: $0 is rank 1 of 258, and the unlimited plan at $0 is rank 1 of 173
- The unlimited plan costs $0, so heavy data users pay nothing extra for unlimited usage
- It runs on AT&T and T-Mobile, so one account covers two major US host networks
Cons
- The same entry price of $0 is a refundable balance rather than a monthly bill, so the cheapest headline does not describe a recurring tariff
- The unlimited plan at $0 shares the rank one spot with the entry pricing of brands such as MobileX at $3.88, so the ranking signal is thin
- As an MVNO on AT&T and T-Mobile, coverage is capped by the host networks, unlike congstar, which sits on Telekom, or Virgin Mobile Mexico, which sits on Telefonica Movistar
LABAS
Pros
- Entry pricing from €1 puts LABAS near the bottom of the site range, below the median of €9.30.
- Plans run on 1 month, so a month is the whole commitment, and billing is prepaid.
- Sim only, eSIM, 5G and wifi calling are all included, and support runs on phone, help centre and email.
Cons
- Unlimited data costs €13.99, which places LABAS at 41 of 173 rather than among the lowest unlimited plans.
- Data rollover is not available, so unused allowance is lost when the plan period ends.
- The range is LT only, so anyone outside Lithuania is not covered.
