What works where.
Total data, not daily data
The allowance you pick covers the whole validity period and does not reset each day.
No number, calls or SMS
This is a data-only eSIM. It issues no phone number and carries no cellular voice or SMS service in either direction.
Service codes are not calls
Dial *123# to check data usage or *122# for balance. These are network service commands and do not mean voice calls or SMS are included.
Apps over data
Internet calling and messaging apps work normally over the data connection.
SMS and verification codes
Can you receive texts on this eSIM?
Not included. This is a data-only eSIM with no SMS service in either direction, so it cannot receive one-time passcodes.
Bank and app verification codes are not guaranteed on any travel eSIM — carriers do not promise short-code delivery. Keep your home SIM available for codes.
