OVO also provides additional services to parents and families. With their Family Zone features, parents can keep an eye on their kid’s internet usage and restrict access to content and websites. While not the biggest or most expansive mobile service provider, OVO found its niche with sports fans and parents alike while offering simple SIM cards without lock-in contracts.

Reviews of OVO

OVO customer reviews are very mixed. Within the last few months especially, customers cite that the quality of OVO has gone down by removing the ability to recharge your mobile plan at any point in lieu of data top-ups, and by cutting data allowances in half without adjusting the price. However, customers cite it easy to switch to OVO from another provider and good speeds for streaming with minimal dropouts.
