Freelance freedom.
Without 24/7 alerts.
One phone. Two numbers. Hand out a dedicated UK business line on proposals, portfolios, and invoices. When you wrap for the day, switch off client notifications without disappearing from personal life.
Three problems, one line
The Sunday evening 'quick amend'
Clients messaging at 9pm on Sunday asking for emergency edits. You can't unsee it. With SecondSim and WhatsApp Business, automated away replies protect your downtime while you rest.
Your personal mobile on public portfolios
Don't publish your private mobile on Behance, LinkedIn, or client proposals. A dedicated UK business number protects your personal privacy and looks instantly professional.
Carrying two phones to coffee shops
Stop carrying two smartphones to client meetings or coworking spaces. SecondSim installs seamlessly as an eSIM on your existing phone, running quietly alongside your personal line.
“I went freelance for freedom, but my phone became an anxiety machine. SecondSim lets me turn off client WhatsApp after 6pm. It literally gave me my life back.”
Live before your next pitch.
Buy your plan, tap the 1-click install link, register WhatsApp Business. Sixty seconds, no paper contracts, cancel anytime.

Why do I need a dedicated eSIM for freelance work?+
Using a dedicated eSIM for freelance work allows you to keep your personal mobile number private while maintaining a professional presence. You can set automated away messages after hours, silencing work notifications without missing calls from family.
Can I keep my personal WhatsApp and client WhatsApp on the same phone?+
Yes. You can run regular WhatsApp on your personal number and the free WhatsApp Business app connected to your SecondSim number on the exact same smartphone.
What happens when I finish work for the day or take a holiday?+
You can mute your SecondSim line or set your WhatsApp Business status to 'Away' with automated replies. Your personal line stays active so you can enjoy your evening undisturbed.
Is this an actual UK mobile number or an internet VoIP app?+
This is a 100% genuine UK mobile number (+44 7...) powered directly by Vodafone UK's physical cellular network. It is not an unreliable VoIP application, so calls and texts work seamlessly.
Can I claim SecondSim as an allowable business expense for HMRC?+
Yes. Because SecondSim is a dedicated, separate business mobile service used exclusively for commercial activities, the full monthly subscription is an allowable tax-deductible expense for sole traders and limited companies.
