Round Analysis

Category breakdown for Sudan.

Coverage

HelloRoam wins the coverage category for Sudan with a score of 9.1/10. HelloRoam connects to Zain SD and MTN SD in Sudan, the sole operator. Sudan operates on 4G LTE technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Sudan. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.1/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.

Pricing

HelloRoam wins the pricing category for Sudan with a score of 9.2/10. Plans for Sudan start at $7.68/GB through HelloRoam, reflecting the premium data costs in this market. Available tiers: 1GB: $8.64, 3GB: $23.05, 5GB: $38.40. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 9.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Sudan's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.

Features

HelloRoam wins the features category for Sudan with a score of 9.7/10. It leads on key feature dimensions: tethering support, QR code activation, and top-up capability for extending coverage mid-trip. Saily receives a Features boost in Sudan due to its built-in DNS threat blocking, which functions without a traditional VPN connection — an advantage where VPN restrictions apply. Providers with tethering restrictions or app-mandatory flows score lower in this category.

Support

HelloRoam wins the support category for Sudan with a score of 9.8/10. Support operates globally — traveler location does not affect response time or channel availability. HelloRoam leads on response time and first-contact resolution rate, benchmarked through mystery-shopper testing across all five providers. Emergency services in Sudan are reached at 999; this is separate from provider support but relevant context for travelers. Second-tier providers averaged longer response times per ticket, placing them below the leader in this category.

Ease of Use

HelloRoam leads ease of use for Sudan at 9.2/10. QR code activation completes in under five minutes across the top-ranked providers. Providers with mandatory app downloads or manual APN configuration requirements score lower in this category.

Value

HelloRoam wins the value category for Sudan with a score of 9.1/10. Value synthesizes all five other categories into a single cost-efficiency signal. At $7.68/GB, Sudan offers standard cost-to-data value. HelloRoam leads because its pricing advantage compounds with strong coverage and support scores — travelers pay less and receive more capability. Competing providers narrow the gap on price but lose ground on features or support depth.
