How we rate VoIP and eSIM providers
Every Advinne score is an editorial assessment that follows the same published method. Scores are not user reviews, and no provider can pay for a better score.
The five criteria
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Features | 30% |
| Value | 20% |
| Ease | 20% |
| Support | 15% |
| Integrations | 15% |
- Features: calling, messaging, video, routing, AI and admin tools (VoIP), or hotspot, top-ups and plan types (eSIM).
- Value: what the entry and mid plans include for their published price.
- Ease: how simple buying, setup, apps and day-to-day use are, based on official documentation.
- Support: published support channels, hours and self-help resources.
- Integrations (VoIP) or coverage (travel eSIM): the range of connected apps or destination countries.
How the score works
Each criterion gets 1 to 5 points. We multiply each by its weight, add them up and double the total to give a score out of 10.
Sources and updates
We use providers' official websites, pricing pages and help centres. Every profile shows the date we checked prices. When plans change, we update the profile and the score.
What we never do
- Invent prices, features or user reviews.
- Accept payment for a higher score.
- Add star-rating markup that suggests user reviews.
