Our verdict
Ucell is a sensible pick for readers in UZ who want a network-run provider without a long commitment, with sim only tariffs of UZS 69,000 a month, 5G and eSIM. Billing runs on contract and prepaid, so the same tariff list works on a prepaid top up or a contract.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of UZS 69,000 a month on a sim only plan, so a reader can move without buying a handset.
- Billing covers both routes at once: contract and prepaid lists contract and prepaid, where yesss! adds rolling.
- Sim only, 5G and eSIM are all available, so one provider can cover an existing phone and a new one.
- Plan terms are the short kind, listed at 1 month, so a prepaid top up stays easy to stop.
Cons
- Coverage sits in UZ only, so a reader who needs service in a second market has to look elsewhere.
- Billing is contract and prepaid, with no rolling option, which is the one thing yesss! adds in contract, rolling and prepaid.
- Help is limited to email, chat and phone, leaving out any in-person or community forum route.
Who it suits
- Readers in UZ who want the network itself as the seller, since Ucell is listed as a network seller.
- People upgrading a handset who want eSIM and 5G on the same sim only tariff that starts at UZS 69,000 a month.
- Readers who prefer topping up rather than committing, because contract and prepaid includes prepaid alongside contract.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not for readers who want a rolling monthly deal: yesss! lists contract, rolling and prepaid, which includes rolling alongside contract and prepaid.
- Not for price-led shoppers weighing every entry figure: Lonestar Cell MTN starts at $0.20, worth setting beside UZS 69,000 before deciding.
What it does well
Ucell answers yes on the checks that matter for a plan bought separately from a handset. Sim only tariffs are available, so a reader with a working phone can move provider without replacing the device. eSIM is supported, which covers a new handset that would otherwise wait on a card to arrive. 5G is offered as well, so the newest network generation is not something extra to negotiate for. Taken together, the three answers mean a reader can settle on one provider and stay there through a phone upgrade rather than looking again at that point.
Who runs it
Ucell is operated by COSCOM LLC, with its headquarters in Uzbekistan. Support runs on email, chat and phone, a wide set of routes for a provider of its size: the help centre for a tariff question, chat for a quick balance check, and phone or email when a billing problem needs a longer exchange. Having all of those under COSCOM LLC means a reader is not passed out to a separate service desk before reaching someone who can change a plan.

Frequently asked questions
What will I pay each month at the entry level?+
The entry price is UZS 69,000 a month, and TV BOR is the reference plan at that level. The Bor range above it costs more each month for more data, running from a smaller to a large allowance. Sim only is available, so a handset does not have to be part of the deal.
Do I have to sign a contract, or can I pay as I go?+
Ucell bills on contract and prepaid, so contract and prepaid are both open and a month to month top up is possible. Plan terms are the short kind, listed at 1 month, so a prepaid top up does not tie you to a long commitment. yesss! lists a rolling option in contract, rolling and prepaid for readers who want that wording on the bill.
Can I keep the phone I already own?+
Sim only plans are listed as available, and the entry tariff of UZS 69,000 a month does not bundle a device. Billing runs on contract and prepaid, so an existing handset can sit on contract billing or stay prepaid. A reader upgrading at the same time can use the eSIM option instead of waiting for a card.
Do I get 5G and eSIM on the same plan?+
Each is answered yes, and neither depends on a separate tariff. The reference plans in the Bor range, starting at UZS 69,000 a month, are the ones to look at for a new handset, and eSIM covers a device with no card slot. 5G runs alongside on the same provider.
Which markets can I use Ucell in?+
Ucell operates in Uzbekistan, and the reference prices quoted here are for that market. There is no second market on the list, so a reader who needs service while travelling outside it should plan around another provider. Billing is contract and prepaid, offered within the same home network.
Who actually runs Ucell?+
Ucell is operated by COSCOM LLC, whose headquarters are in Uzbekistan. The same company sells the plans and is listed as a network seller, so a query about coverage, billing or a tariff change goes to one operator rather than being passed between a network and a separate reseller.
How do I reach someone if a query goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers the routes most readers expect from a provider this size. A help centre answers small questions, chat handles quick ones, and phone and email take anything that needs a longer exchange. The entry price of UZS 69,000 a month comes from the same operator that answers these queries.
Am I buying from the network or from a reseller?+
Ucell is listed as a network seller, so the network itself stands behind the UZS 69,000 a month entry plan. There is no separate reseller in between, which can make a tariff change or a coverage query simpler to raise. GETESA bills on prepaid and contract, a different route to the same kind of plan.
