Pick Silent.link if
you want anonymous mobile data roaming and the number is a secondary concern.
- They sell anonymous mobile data — a genuinely different product that we do not offer at all.
- Global eSIM roaming on a single profile.
- Excellent Lightning integration.
Pick HushSMS if
you want a number in a specific country, you need voice, or you do not want to burn an eSIM slot on it.
- Actual country choice for the number itself.
- Two-way voice, which they do not provide.
- Far lower cost if all you need is a number.
- No eSIM-capable handset required.
Silent.link is frequently mentioned alongside us but is not really the same product. They sell anonymous eSIM data — global mobile internet with no identity attached — and a phone number is an add-on to that.
Different problems
Consider "mobile data in forty countries without a contract in my name": they solve exactly that; we cannot. Their offering is genuine and performs well.
Take "a German mobile number accepting SMS and calls": the balance tilts against them. Their number-country list is short, two-way voice is absent, and pricing reflects the bundled data plan you also acquire.
Verdict
These are complements more than competitors. Several of our customers use both.
