# Second Line Calling/Texting vs SIMless

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Second Line Calling/Texting at 68% against SIMless's 18%. Second Line Calling/Texting also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). SIMless's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Second Line Calling/Texting sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and SIMless sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SIMless holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2K and 3.5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Second Line Calling/Texting's written reviews are positive against 18% of SIMless's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
