What the table shows
easySim sells data, says so, and prices it from £2.99 across 200+ destinations. Three of the four sections are empty on its side because it chose to sell data only, and its homepage says so in one sentence.
The easySim alternative that replaces the number too
easySim covers “200+ destinations worldwide” from £2.99, and its homepage says: “easySim eSIMs are data-only plans, meaning they do not replace your existing phone number or SIM card”. Numero eSIM sells the number as well: standalone numbers in 39 countries from $3.99 a month, and a full eSIM with data, minutes and a real number in 188.
Why customers choose Numero eSIM over easySim
easySim states its limits more plainly than anyone else in this set. One sentence on its homepage settles three rows of the table: the eSIMs are data-only and do not replace your phone number or SIM. That makes the comparison simple. easySim sells one of Numero eSIM's four products and says so.
Does easySim replace your phone number?
No, and it says so on its homepage. Numero eSIM sells numbers in 39 countries that ring and receive, toll-free lines in eight, and a full eSIM in 188 countries that carries data, minutes and a real line together.
How do you make a call on easySim?
Over data, via “WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger, Skype”; there is no calling plan and no number to be called on. Numero eSIM's full eSIM includes calling minutes with the number, and it sells 17 local and 2 international calling plans separately.
What does each side publish about data?
easySim publishes entry pricing from £2.99 across 200+ destinations; unlimited plans are not stated. Numero eSIM publishes 181 countries and 7 regions with per-country prices from €3.50, unlimited plans in 14 countries plus Europe, and its fair-use policy.
