What matters

We prefer Yesim

We prefer Yesim

Yesim covers more of the live catalog or starts cheaper on the same scale. Ubigi can still win a specific trip if the destination sheet says so.

Open Ubigi when the destination page shows a clearer network, hotspot rule or price for that itinerary. Do not crown a winner from the homepage.

When does Ubigi make sense?+

Open Ubigi when the carrier name is part of the decision. Transatel and NTT infrastructure, reusable profile. In our current sample: 931 priced plans across 146 destinations, median EUR 2.00/GB on limited packs. Then check whether the pack stays in one country or follows the itinerary.

Do you give this provider a score?+

No. We do not publish a customer rating or a best-provider badge. This page shows normalized catalog fields — price, data, validity, coverage, 5G and hotspot — plus sourced product notes. A commission on an outbound link does not change those numbers.

When does Yesim make sense?+

Yesim keeps purchase, install and top-up in one app. Swiss app, reusable profile, optional virtual numbers. In our current sample: 3,537 priced plans across 186 destinations, median EUR 2.30/GB on limited packs. A tidy install screen does not name the local radio.
