Our verdict on each
Twigby Mobile
Twigby Mobile suits US customers who want a sim only line with no contract and eSIM support, and the price on entry is one of the sharper ones on the site. The catch is what happens after the introductory period, when renewal rates sit well above $5.
yallo
yallo suits Swiss readers who want a line costing nothing until they use it, on a rolling monthly setup over Sunrise's network with Europe roaming already covered. Entry is CHF 0 a month and the unlimited tier starts at CHF 21.90, and the free plan is the reason to look here first.

Pros and cons
Twigby Mobile
Pros
- Entry pricing of $5 sits comfortably in the lower end of the plans we price up.
- Billing is rolling and plan contract length is 1 month, so there is no long tie-in.
- Sim only, eSIM, 5G, wifi calling and hotspot sharing are all included.
Cons
- Renewal pricing on the entry plans is well above the $5 headline once the introductory period ends.
- Support runs on chat and help centre, so there is no phone line for problems that need a voice.
- The unlimited plan costs $25, a large step up from the entry figure of $5.
yallo
Pros
- yallo starts at CHF 0 a month on a pay-as-you-go basis, so a second line costs nothing until it is used.
- Billing is rolling and prepaid and the plan contract length is 1 month, so a reader can leave without a long notice period.
- Europe roaming is included and the host network is Sunrise, so travel abroad does not require a second provider.
Cons
- On unlimited data yallo ranks 87 of 173, far behind its 1 of 258 showing on entry price.
- yallo is an mvno on the Sunrise network, while getesa and yesss! are listed as a network in their own right.
- Service runs in CH only, so readers based anywhere else need a different brand.
Who each suits
Twigby Mobile
Who it suits
- US customers bringing their own handset and happy with a sim only line
- People who want a rolling monthly plan with no contract commitment
- Travellers or switchers who prefer an eSIM over a plastic card
Who should look elsewhere
- Customers who need unlimited data on a small budget, since the unlimited tier costs $25
- Anyone who prefers to phone support, because support runs on chat and help centre
- Readers outside US, where the service is not offered
yallo
Who it suits
- People in Switzerland who want a spare or second line without a contract, starting at CHF 0 a month.
- Travellers from Switzerland who need Europe roaming already included rather than a separate roaming add-on.
- Readers who are happy with pay-as-you-go data but still want eSIM, 5G and WiFi calling on one prepaid plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- People who would rather buy from the carrier itself, since getesa and yesss! are both listed as a network while yallo is an mvno.
- Readers outside CH, where yallo does not run at all, should look at a brand built for their market, such as lonestar-cell-mtn.
- Anyone whose main goal is the lowest unlimited rate, since yallo sits at 87 of 173 on that measure.

Questions about each
Twigby Mobile
How much does Twigby Mobile cost to start?+
Plans start at $5 on a rolling monthly basis, with a plan contract length of 1 month. That headline figure is introductory, so the standard rate is higher once the first period ends. Budget on the standard rate rather than the opening price.
What does unlimited data cost?+
The unlimited plan is priced at $25. That is well above the $5 entry figure, so unlimited data is a step up rather than a default. Billing stays rolling, so nothing locks you in beyond the rolling month.
yallo
What does yallo cost at the start?+
The Prepaid plan starts at CHF 0 a month, so opening a Swiss number costs nothing on its own. Data on that plan is pay-as-you-go, meaning you pay for what you use. There is no minimum contract on the prepaid tier, so a line can be opened, used lightly and closed again without a long commitment.
How much is unlimited data on yallo?+
The Swiss Max plan, which carries unlimited data, costs CHF 21.90 a month with no minimum contract. A further unlimited tier costs more than Swiss Max and also comes without a minimum contract, so the rate you renew at is the rate you start at rather than a promotional step up later.
