Why the two price lists are shaped differently
How Roami and Yesim build their plan ladders
Roami sells data in measured buckets; Yesim mostly sells it unlimited. Of Roami's 1,181 plans, 1,010 are metered, from about 100 MB to 100 GB with a 37× spread between the cheapest and the dearest gigabyte; Yesim lists 1,344 unlimited plans against 308 metered.
Validity draws the sharper line: Roami's plans run out to 180 days, Yesim's stop at 30, which makes Roami the one to pick for a long stay bought in a single transaction. Neither brand states a post-cap speed on its plan cards, so unlimited here means unlimited volume against an unpublished floor.
