Many teams start on 5SIM for the lowest disposable SMS price on hot routes. When you add resellers, rentals billing, or regional payments, a focused migration to Proxnum keeps one stack instead of juggling tools.
Proxnum vs 5SIM
| Feature | Proxnum | 5SIM |

When to switch
- You resell numbers and need a branded panel or license.
- Your customers pay with M-Pesa or crypto-first wallets.
- You want refunds and rentals under the same balance as disposable SMS.
Migration steps
