yboo’s Mission

yboo’s mission is to create a smart revolution in the mobile phone market – by making personalised contract recommendations based on usage needs, signal strength and price. In doing so it provides a clear alternative to traditional price comparison services, championing fair pricing for the public and greater transparency in telecoms.

Using Big Data Analytics To Deliver Personalised Telco Plans

At its core yboo is a big data company. Using its technology, data generated in the app and data analytics, yboo analyses consumer behaviour patterns and helps customers discover the right mobile plan for them based on their individual needs. It does this by measuring consumer usage habits across a range of variables, from price and signal strength to the areas where people live, work or hang out. From here the app delivers a personalised network plan tailored to the customers needs, making it easy to discover the best plan and then go onto switching to an appropriate network provider.

As yboo continues to experience rapid growth from its domestic user base in the UK, it’s already planning an international expansion into global telco markets, specifically those where it expects consumers will realise the greatest benefit from its service. With its sights set firmly on the lucrative Australian market, it expects to gain strong traction and hit the ground running. Investment and advisory from Black Nova Group will be used to support yboo’s international expansion, specifically with an entry into the Australian telco market.
