When Sonetel suits you better

  • You mostly receive calls and want the lowest price for the number itself.
  • You run a small business and want Sonetel's paid plans, from $9.95 a user a month with calls included.

When the TripoSIM US number suits you better

  • You want texts and verification codes in an app on your phone rather than in your email.
  • You call out often and want 300 minutes a month in one price.
  • You may not use the number every week: Sonetel can take back unused US numbers after 5 days’ notice.

What happens to your number if you stop?

Sonetel works on "use it or lose it": unused US numbers can be taken back after 5 days' notice, and a number is removed for good after at least a month unpaid. Moving a US number away costs $15.

The TripoSIM number stays yours while your plan is paid, with no rule about how often you use it. When a plan ends it is kept for 30 days on the yearly plan and 90 days on the monthly plan, then released. See every provider's rules.
