Frequently asked questions

Is a non-VoIP number the same as a real SIM number?

In practice yes: a non-VoIP number is one that carrier databases classify as mobile, which is the case for numbers on SIM cards. See what is a non-VoIP number.

Why rank your own service first?

Because it meets the five criteria above; RealSIM Numbers publishes this page and says so. Every other figure links to the provider's own page so you can check it.

How often is this list updated?
