Pros and cons
ho. Mobile
Pros
- The entry plan in the range at €6.95 a month sits below the site median €9.30 and below the prepaid listing median €6.02.
- Billing is prepaid and the contract term is 1 month, so a line can end without a cancellation charge.
- Sim only and eSIM are both offered, with 5G available, so a new handset can be set up without waiting for a physical card.
Cons
- EU roaming is fair use, so heavy travel use is not carried on the same terms as unlimited roaming.
- Service runs in Italy, so the plan has no reach beyond that market.
- Billing is prepaid with terms of 1 month, so unlike GETESA or yesss! there is no contract option for spreading a handset cost.
PremiumSIM
Pros
- Sim only plans start at €6.99, below the €9.30 median across listed brands
- Terms run 1 and 24, so a rolling option sits next to a longer commitment
- 5G, eSIM and wifi calling are all available, which is what most listed mobile plans carry
Cons
- The fibre line carries a setup fee of €49.99 and post contract pricing of €44.99
- As an mvno, the provider sets its own tariffs on another carrier's network and stays inside DE
- Uploads of 5.8 to 40 Mbps sit below downloads of 1,000 Mbps, which matters for sending large files
Who each suits
ho. Mobile
Who it suits
- People in Italy who want a large data allowance with no contract term to serve.
- New arrivals and short stays who want an eSIM instead of a card in the post.
- Households that want a prepaid line with phone and chat support.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a contract to spread the cost of a handset: GETESA and yesss! sell as networks (network, network) while this brand is prepaid only.
- Frequent EU travellers, since roaming runs on fair use terms rather than being included.
PremiumSIM
Who it suits
- People in Germany who want a sim only plan on 1 and 24 terms
- Households that want mobile and a fibre line from one seller, with €49.99 to budget for at the start
- Travellers who need EU roaming included in 33 countries
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after unlimited data, since no unlimited plan appears among the reference plan prices
- Buyers who want the host network itself, where yesss! sells as a network
- People who need service beyond DE, with Lonestar Cell MTN listed as a network

Questions about each
ho. Mobile
What is the cheapest ho. Mobile plan?+
The entry plan in the range is priced at €6.95 a month with no contract term attached. A larger allowance is available on the next plan, and a 5G version of the entry allowance sits above that. Every option is sim only and prepaid, so there is no handset cost and no minimum term to serve.
Is there a contract to serve?+
Billing is prepaid and the contract term listed is 1 month. The reference plans are described as carrying no contract, so a line can end without a cancellation charge. The trade-off is that you top up as you go rather than locking in a device discount over a longer term.
PremiumSIM
What does the cheapest PremiumSIM mobile plan cost?+
The starting price across the range is €6.99, set on a small allnet plan. A second reference plan adds a much larger data allowance at a higher monthly cost, and no unlimited plan appears among the reference plan prices. Heavy data users would pay for the larger tier from the first bill.
How long is the contract?+
Plan contract months run 1 and 24, so a short rolling arrangement sits alongside a longer commitment. Billing is offered as contract or rolling, which lets you match the term to how long you expect to keep the line. Households that expect to move soon should read the longer term carefully.
