Vonode turns the Vonode node you run on your own server into a phone app for your numbers. Read and send texts, make and answer calls over cellular or Wi-Fi Calling, manage eSIM profiles and check line health for the SIM and eSIM lines in your own modems. WHAT YOU NEED Vonode is a companion app. It requires a Vonode node that you install and run yourself (Linux, with systemd or Docker), a compatible cellular modem, and your own SIM or eSIM with service from your carrier. Vonode does not provide hosting, mobile service, SIM plans, hardware or carrier access; these are the user's responsibility. MESSAGES • One inbox for every number on your node • Sender rules move unwanted texts to Filtered and show why • Verification codes stay in your inbox even when a sender rule matches (node software v1.4.2 or later) • Optional notifications with encrypted message previews CALLS • Phone-style keypad with contact suggestions, Recents and quick call back • Calls over cellular, or over Wi-Fi Calling where your carrier and modem support it • Always-allow and always-block lists, and a Blocked list that shows why NUMBERS AND eSIM • Signal, network, data and readiness for every line at a glance • Switch, enable, disable and remove eSIM profiles on supported eUICC cards in your modem • Keep-alive estimates for prepaid numbers, with reminders before the date • A line check that explains SIM, network, data, SMS and calling status in plain language ALSO • Wi-Fi Calling connection steps and network-path guidance (node software v1.4.2 or later) • Your own plan, balance and renewal notes in Card ledger (node software v1.4.3 or later) • Several nodes, USSD, device controls and the automations configured on your node • Contact names are matched on your device only, and only if you turn them on • Encrypted App Backup to move your settings and paired nodes to a new iPhone • English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean • Node credentials are kept in the iOS Keychain IN-APP PURCHASE Without Vonode Lifetime, you can choose one number on one node and read in the app the SMS it receives over the cellular network, and, with node software v1.4.2 or later, over Wi-Fi Calling. With node software v1.4.2 or later, you can also use Filtered, mark messages as spam or not spam, and set sender rules for that number. Node management (paired phones, administrator password, backups and updates) is also included. Outside an active trial, access to calls, sending messages, notifications, eSIM, automation, diagnostics and more numbers requires Vonode Lifetime, a one-time In-App Purchase available in the app. Vonode Lifetime unlocks one node with every feature for as long as VONODE LLC offers the Vonode services and does not renew. 7-DAY TRIAL Eligible users with node software v1.4.3 or later can obtain a free 7-day Trial, a non-consumable In-App Purchase. It unlocks one node for 7 days (168 hours) from the original App Store purchase time, even if activated later. One trial per Apple Account, node and app installation; eligibility is checked. Restoring purchases or reinstalling does not restart it, and it cannot move to another node. It does not renew or turn into a payment. At its end, calls, sending, notifications and other unlocked features stop. Your data is kept; one-number SMS access depends on this phone's free-plan slot being available. The trial needs an online node and relay; offline time is not added. You may buy Vonode Lifetime separately at the price shown in the app. Vonode is not an emergency communications service. Availability depends on your hardware, node, network and carrier. Terms of Use: https://vonode.cc/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://vonode.cc/privacy/ With node 1.4.5+, restricted actions require three lawful-use confirmations. You may decline and stay read-only; older nodes remain available for reading, maintenance and upgrade. Report misuse: support@vonode.cc.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Vonode at Free against Mimi Calculator's $0.99. Mimi Calculator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
