Our verdict on each
Hallon
Hallon is a sim only provider on the Tre network selling plans in Sweden, with 5G, esim, wifi calling and data rollover on every plan and billing on rolling and prepaid terms. Entry sits at SEK 19, which suits readers who want a flexible Swedish plan with nothing to cancel rather than a long contract.
MobileX
MobileX suits US readers who want a prepaid plan with a low entry price and no contract attached, scoring 9.4 overall. Build Your Own starts at $3.88 on 1 month, and that same monthly rate carries into every later period, so nothing has to be unwound at renewal.

Pros and cons
Hallon
Pros
- Sim only across the range, and 5G, esim, wifi calling and data rollover are all on the plan rather than sold as extras.
- Billing runs on rolling and prepaid and plans commit for 1 month, so there is no long tie in.
- Entry starts at SEK 19, with the cheapest plan listed sold without a contract and a bonus data promo on top.
Cons
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line in that set, so a network fault cannot be chased by voice.
- EU roaming is fair use rather than included, while 36.1% of the plans listed here carry EU roaming outright.
- Hallon sells in SE only, so it is a single market plan and offers no service in any other country.
MobileX
Pros
- Build Your Own starts at $3.88 on a plan where the data allowance is set by the customer
- Plans run 1 month, so there is no long term to serve
- Unlimited talk and text plans start at $14.88
Cons
- European roaming is paid, so travel adds cost rather than arriving with the plan
- The seller type is mvno, so service runs over a host network and local coverage needs checking
- Coverage is listed for US, so anyone who needs service across several countries should look wider
Who each suits
Hallon
Who it suits
- Readers in SE who want a sim only plan on Tre with 5G, esim and rollover and nothing to cancel.
- People who want the service to run month to month on 1 month, so a change of job or phone costs them nothing.
- Travellers with modest data use who can live with fair use roaming inside the EU.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs to pick up a phone: support runs on email, chat and help centre only, and GETESA is the alternative to check, since it sells as a network rather than a virtual operator.
- Readers who prefer dealing with the network itself: GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! all sell as networks, where Hallon is mvno.
- Frequent EU travellers who want roaming included rather than fair use: Hallon's roaming is fair use, so yesss! is worth comparing on roaming terms.
MobileX
Who it suits
- Residents of US who want a prepaid plan with no long contract
- People who want unlimited talk and text from $14.88
- Readers who want an eSIM, rollover data and hotspot sharing on a flexible plan
Who should look elsewhere
- GETESA readers who would rather buy from a network than a mvno
- Lonestar Cell MTN readers who want the network itself rather than a virtual brand
- Travellers who need roaming inside the monthly plan, since European roaming is paid

Questions about each
Hallon
How much does a Hallon plan cost?+
Prices start at SEK 19. The cheapest plan listed is the smallest allowance on the range, while the cheapest plan with a far bigger allowance sits well above entry, and both are sold without a contract. Hallon bills on rolling and prepaid terms, which covers a rolling and a prepaid setup.
Are Hallon prices introductory, or do they change at renewal?+
The promos add data rather than cut the monthly figure. The smallest plan carries a bonus allowance on top of the data it includes, and the larger plan carries a matching bonus, both without a contract, and plans run month to month on 1 month. Budget on the base figure in case the bonus is not in place.
MobileX
What is the cheapest MobileX plan?+
Build Your Own starts at $3.88 and you set the data allowance on it yourself. The published reference prices for the plans are monthly and month to month, so that entry figure is the ongoing figure rather than a promotional rate that changes later. A reader comparing a low headline price with a long contract deal is comparing two different structures here, not two stages of one sale.
Does MobileX use contracts or lock-ins?+
No long term is attached. Billing is prepaid and rolling and plans sit at 1 month, the short contract length that flexible mobile deals tend to use. Nothing ties you in for a year, so a reader who wants to change plan or walk away can do so without serving out a term first.
