A Ubigi alternative for travel agencies
Ubigi is the travel eSIM brand of Transatel, a French mobile operator enabler owned by NTT since 2019. It sells data plans to travellers in its own app and offers partners an affiliate link, a wholesale API or a distributor deal. Terudo supplies travel data eSIMs only to travel businesses, which resell them under their own name. The core difference: with Ubigi, most programmes send your traveller to the Ubigi brand. With Terudo, your agency name is on the install e-mail and the eSIM page, and you choose on every order between a commission and a net price.

How reselling works with Ubigi
Ubigi lists several partner routes. Affiliates share a link tracked on Impact and earn a commission on plans sold from the Ubigi catalogue. Its travel-industry page states 15% on data plans, the affiliate page 10% on the first purchase. Distributors earn a margin on sales and recharges, with no minimum order and a white-label option. Contract terms and partner prices are not published.
How it works with Terudo
You open a partner account and pick a mode on each order. In commission mode we sell to your traveller on a checkout page branded for your agency and pay you monthly. In net price mode you buy at your partner rate, shown after sign-in, and bill your client at the price you choose.
Using both
Nothing is exclusive on our side. You can keep a Ubigi link for travellers who want the Ubigi app and use Terudo where the eSIM is part of the trip you sell.
