Our verdict on each
Visible
Visible is a prepaid MVNO running on Verizon, and it suits anyone who wants unlimited data in the US without a long contract or a price that rises after the first bill. The Visible plan starts at $25 on terms of 1 and 12 months.
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
Visible
Pros
- The Visible plan starts at $25 and already includes unlimited data, so the entry price and the unlimited price are one and the same line.
- Billing runs on rolling and prepaid and terms run 1 and 12 months, so there is no long lock in and leaving is straightforward.
- Visible states that the rate you are shown is the rate you pay, so the price does not step up after the first bill.
Cons
- Roaming is paid rather than part of the plan, though it does reach 140 countries.
- Support runs on chat, help centre and community, and no phone line sits among them.
- The service is offered in the United States, so it is not sold outside the US.
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
Visible
Who it suits
- You want unlimited data on a Verizon line in the US and would rather bring your own handset, since the plan is sim only.
- You want a short commitment, because billing runs on rolling and prepaid and terms run 1 and 12 months.
- You travel across 140 countries and are happy to pay for roaming, since it is paid rather than included.
Who should look elsewhere
- GETESA, which is a network seller, so the line would come from the network operator rather than an MVNO on Verizon
- yesss!, also a network seller, if a network's own plan suits you better than a virtual operator's
- Lonestar Cell MTN, another network seller, for the same reason: the plan comes from the network itself rather than an MVNO
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
Visible
What does Visible cost, and is the cheapest plan the unlimited one?+
Yes on both counts. The Visible plan starts at $25 and that entry plan already includes unlimited data, so you do not have to move up a tier for it. Unlimited data is listed at $25, the same figure, and billing runs on rolling and prepaid terms.
Does my bill go up after the first month?+
No step up is planned. Visible states that the rate you are shown is the rate you pay, so the headline figure is what you keep paying rather than an introductory offer. If you would rather commit, terms run 1 and 12 months, which covers both the rolling line and an annual option with unlimited data.
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.
