Can I Make Calls and Send SMS Messages with My eSIM While Traveling? |
| 1. Can I use my eSIM to make phone calls or send SMS messages? No, eSIMlii provides data-only eSIMs, which means they do not support traditional voice calls or SMS messaging. These eSIMs are designed specifically for mobile internet access while traveling, allowing you to browse the web, use maps, and stay connected through data-based communication apps. |
| 2. How can I make calls or send messages without a phone number? Even though eSIMlii does not provide a phone number, you can still make calls and send messages using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and messaging apps. Applications like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Skype, Google Voice, and Viber let you communicate over the internet without needing a traditional phone line. As long as you have an active data connection from your eSIMlii plan, you can make voice and video calls, as well as send messages worldwide. |
| 3. Can I use my existing phone number for calls and texts while using an eSIM? Yes, if your device supports dual SIM functionality, you can keep your primary SIM card active for receiving calls and texts while using eSIMlii for data. However, be aware that using your primary SIM for calls or SMS while abroad may incur international roaming charges from your home carrier. To avoid unexpected fees, check with your carrier about roaming rates or consider using Wi-Fi calling if your provider supports it. |
| 4. Why choose a data-only eSIM for travel? A data-only eSIM is ideal for travelers because it eliminates expensive roaming fees while keeping you connected. Since most communication happens through internet-based apps today, a data-only eSIM gives you the flexibility to use your favorite apps without relying on a traditional phone plan. With eSIMlii, you can enjoy high-speed internet and stay in touch globally without the hassle of switching SIM cards or dealing with costly roaming fees. |
