Onoff: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Onoff is a mobile app that gives a smartphone one or more additional phone numbers, so users can make and receive calls and text messages on a second number without a second SIM card or device. The app runs on iOS and Android and includes a custom voicemail and contact synchronisation. It is aimed at people who want a separate number on the phone they already use.

Onoff Telecom SAS is registered in Paris, and its privacy policy names its registered office in Paris, so the company is headquartered in France. The policy states that some customer data is passed to providers outside the EU, naming the United States, under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, and it refers to the GDPR. It does not say where primary storage is located. The site describes no open-source components or self-hosted option. For a European organisation, the main point to check is the US sub-processing covered by these clauses.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Onoff

Onoff is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Onoff hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Onoff is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Onoff together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
