What makes the yallo Black plans special?

All three plans are based on the same core idea: you should be able to surf in Switzerland unlimitedly and with 5G high speed, while also staying online abroad without worry.

The most important shared features are:

  • Unlimited calls and SMS in Switzerland

  • Unlimited 5G internet in Switzerland

  • Roaming in Europe, USA and Canada with a high data volume

  • Newly added Region A with 49 additional countries that make roaming especially attractive

The special aspect of the expansion: in these 49 countries you receive 5 GB of roaming data with every yallo Black mobile plan. With yallo Black Plus and yallo Black Max, you also get 5 hours of roaming calls. The adjustment applies automatically for existing and new customers – with no extra charge.


Roaming briefly explained – and why it now offers more

Roaming means that you use your mobile phone via foreign networks while your contract remains with a Swiss provider. Instead of buying local SIM cards, you stay reachable with your Swiss number.

In the past this was often expensive and confusing. With the new yallo Black plans, roaming becomes significantly more affordable:

  • In Europe, USA and Canada you surf with generous or unlimited data packages.

  • In Region A you have 5 GB of data everywhere, and with two plans an additional 5 hours of calls.

This means that for many trips you only need to check which region your destination belongs to, no need to compare new options and tariffs each time.

In the next step we will look at which plan makes the most sense for whom.


Who is yallo Black best suited for?

yallo Black is the right choice if you need a strong plan for everyday life and at the same time want good roaming services in the most important destinations.

Typical users of this plan are people who:

  • mainly live and work in Switzerland

  • egularly go on holiday or visit family in Europe, USA or Canada

  • only occasionally travel to more distant countries

  • mainly use data abroad and rarely make classic phone calls

With yallo Black you surf in Switzerland unlimitedly with 5G. In Europe, the USA and Canada you also have generous data volumes available, so you rarely reach your limits in everyday life. The new Region A makes the plan even more attractive as you receive 5 GB of roaming data in 49 countries such as Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica, South Africa or the United Arab Emirates. For a typical two-week trip this volume is enough for navigation, messaging, social media and occasional video calls if you use your data consciously.

If you would describe yourself as “online a lot, little calling abroad, mainly travelling in Europe”, yallo Black is very likely the right plan for you.


Who is yallo Black Plus best suited for?

yallo Black Plus is aimed at everyone who, in addition to data usage, needs classic calling abroad.

These are, for example, people who:

  • travel several times a year to long-haul destinations such as Thailand, Egypt, Dubai, Australia, Mexico or South Africa

  • make calls there with hotels, clients or relatives

  • cannot always rely on Wi-Fi or internet calls

  • are generally on the move a lot and prefer a “carefree plan”

With yallo Black Plus you have the same advantages in Switzerland as with Black: unlimited calls, SMS and 5G internet. In Europe, the USA and Canada you get unlimited roaming calls and data, with 40 GB high-speed before the speed is reduced.

The decisive difference is the service in Region A:

  • 5 GB of roaming data in 49 additional countries

  • 5 hours of roaming calls in these countries

This means you can not only chat and stream in these destinations, but also make several hours of normal calls without having to count every minute. For many people, this is exactly the point that makes the difference between a “standard roaming solution” and “truly relaxed travelling.”

If you often travel outside Europe/USA/Canada and regularly call contacts while on the go, yallo Black Plus is the most sensible choice.


Who is yallo Black Max best suited for?

yallo Black Max is the most comprehensive plan in the portfolio and ideal if your life and work are very international.

Typical profiles are:

  • People with family in different countries who often make international calls from Switzerland

  • People who travel a lot for work or business and have little time to constantly compare tariffs and options

  • Expats, digital nomads or frequent travellers who want to cover as much as possible with a single plan

With yallo Black Max you get the same strong basic package in Switzerland as with the other plans. In Europe, the USA and Canada you also benefit from unlimited voice & data with 40 GB high-speed. In addition, there are two extra layers:

1. In Region A you have, as with Black Plus, 5 GB of data and 5 hours of roaming calls available.

2. From Switzerland you have international calls to many European countries included.

This makes yallo Black Max a plan that combines domestic use, international use and international calling in one package. You don’t need to book separate international options, nor do you need to worry about whether a call to Europe “costs something” – it is simply part of your plan.

If you frequently move between countries, are globally connected for work or simply don’t want to deal with tariff details, yallo Black Max is the plan that best fits your everyday life.


What does Region A mean specifically for your travels?

Region A includes 49 countries that yallo has deliberately selected because customers travel there particularly often. These include:

  • Asia: Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar

  • Africa & Middle East: Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Israel, Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Palestine

  • America: Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Peru

  • Europe and surrounding area: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan

  • Plus, special cases such as Macau, Christmas Island and other destinations

In all these countries the following applies:

  • You have 5 GB of data included with every yallo Black plan.

  • With yallo Black Plus and yallo Black Max you also have 5 hours of roaming calls.

Practical examples:

  • Two weeks in Thailand with navigation, social media, messaging and occasional video calls can be easily covered with 5 GB if you do heavier streaming on the hotel Wi-Fi.
  • A business trip to Dubai or Johannesburg becomes easier when you don’t have to buy new options for several calls with local partners.
  • When visiting family in the Balkans, you can call directly with Plus or Max instead of always looking for a Wi-Fi network first.


How to find out which plan suits you

A simple method is to sort your usage behaviour based on a few questions:

1. Where do you spend most of your time?
Mainly in Switzerland and occasionally in Europe or North America? Then yallo Black is a very solid base.

2. How often do you travel to countries outside Europe/USA/Canada?
If you only take a long-haul trip occasionally, the 5 GB data bonus with yallo Black is usually enough. If you fly to Region A countries several times a year, yallo Black Plus is worth it.

3. How important is classic calling abroad to you?
If you mainly make calls via messaging apps, you may not need the 5 hours of roaming calls. But if you often make regular calls, the upgrade to yallo Black Plus or yallo Black Max is a good investment.

4. Do you frequently make international calls from Switzerland?
If so, you benefit from the international calls included with yallo Black Max.

5. Would you like to bundle everything into one plan?
If you want maximum simplicity and never want to think about tariffs, yallo Black Max is the most consistent solution.


FAQ about yallo Black plans
