Our verdict

IPKO is a home network with a low entry price at €4.99, so it suits households in XK who want prepaid and contract options in one place. The catch is the unlimited tier, priced at €100, which suits heavy users less than light ones.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry at €4.99 sits well below the €9.30 site median
  • You pick your pace: contract and prepaid means a short prepaid top-up or a longer contract
  • eSIM and sim only are both available, so no shop visit is needed
  • Roaming covers 39 countries on the fair-use terms of fair use
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone

Cons

  • The unlimited Infinit plan costs €100, far above the €23.19 median for unlimited plans
  • fair use roaming means heavy use abroad is capped rather than open
  • Contract options run 1, 12 and 24, so the larger allowances are tied up
  • IPKO is a network based in Kosovo, so its plans run on its own network rather than a reseller's

What it does well

IPKO covers the everyday needs in one place. You can take a sim only plan without a handset bundle, and an eSIM is available if you would rather set up without a shop visit. 5G is part of the service, so a newer phone gets the faster network where it is live. Roaming is the part that stands out. Packages reach 39 countries, and the terms are fair-use rather than a hard block, so ordinary trips abroad can keep working without a new plan. Support is the other practical strength. You can reach the team through email, chat and phone, which covers the ways most people prefer to chase a query.

Where it sits among rivals

On entry price, IPKO ranks at 93 out of 258 brands compared, so it is cheaper to join than most of the field while sitting in the same broad band as many of them. The unlimited picture is different. IPKO ranks at 173 out of 173 brands on unlimited price, which reflects a large data allowance rather than a budget unlimited plan.

Pricing

Entry pricing starts at €4.99 on the TIP Mini package, a prepaid option for light use. Contract options run 1, 12 and 24, so you can stay month to month on a small plan or commit for a bigger allowance. At the top of the range, the unlimited Infinit plan costs €100. That is a large step up from the entry price, and it is the figure worth weighing carefully if you stream or tether often.

Who runs it

IPKO is run by IPKO Telecommunications LLC, with its home base in Kosovo. It has traded since 1999, so it is an established local operator rather than a new entrant. Being the network operator itself means you deal with one company for the plan, the network and the support. Reach them through email, chat and phone.

How IPKO compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does IPKO cost to get started?+

The entry price is €4.99, on the prepaid TIP Mini package. That sits below the €9.30 median across the site, so joining IPKO is cheaper than most brands in the comparison. The unlimited Infinit plan sits at the other end at €100.

Do I have to sign a contract with IPKO?+

No, you can pick. IPKO lists contract and prepaid, so prepaid and contract options sit side by side. Contract periods run 1, 12 and 24, which means a short commitment is possible as well as a longer one. Readers who dislike long commitments can start prepaid.

Can I get an eSIM from IPKO?+

Yes. An eSIM is available, and IPKO also sells sim only plans, so you can order without taking a handset. That suits anyone bringing their own phone or arriving in XK without time to visit a shop.

Does my IPKO plan work abroad?+

Yes, within limits. Roaming packages cover 39 countries. The arrangement is fair-use rather than unrestricted, so the terms apply limits on heavier use abroad. If streaming or tethering on holiday matters most, check those terms before you travel.

Does IPKO offer 5G?+

Yes, 5G is part of the service. Combined with the eSIM option and sim only plans, IPKO fits a newer phone that supports the faster network. Coverage on 5G depends on where you are, so a 5G plan does not by itself guarantee 5G everywhere.

Which IPKO plan should a light user take?+

For light use, the prepaid TIP Mini package at €4.99 is the entry point, and it needs no contract. The unlimited Infinit plan at €100 is aimed at people who use a lot of data, so the cheap package suits anyone who streams occasionally.

How do I reach IPKO support?+

You have several routes: email, chat and phone. Phone suits urgent queries, chat and email work for anything you can put in writing, and the help centre covers the basics on your own. Having more than one channel matters if you travel and lose data on the way.

How does IPKO compare with cheaper rivals?+

On entry price IPKO ranks at 93 out of 258 brands. On unlimited price it ranks at 173 out of 173, so the picture depends on which plan you actually want to take.
