BEFORE YOU BUY
Questions people ask before their first Taro plan.
Does every plan include a local number?
No. Some plans include a local number and others are data only. Each plan says which, and plans with a number state which calls and SMS are included.
Why use a travel number?
It gives you a phone number for the trip, separate from your own. Each plan shows what the number can do for calls and texts.
Can people call the number?
Yes, on call-enabled plans. Check the incoming-call allowance before buying.
Is my purchase information confidential?
Yes. Taro keeps the personal and order information provided during purchase completely confidential.
What happens when the travel number expires?
Later calls or messages to the expired travel number no longer reach you.
Does a Europe plan include multiple local numbers?
Not necessarily. Each plan shows its number country, country code, coverage, calls and SMS.
Can it receive verification codes?
SMS support does not guarantee verification-code delivery. Check the selected plan first.
When does the plan start?
Activation varies by plan. Check whether it starts on installation, redemption or first connection.
How and when do I get the eSIM?
After payment is confirmed, your eSIM arrives by email, with the QR code and step-by-step install instructions.
Will it work on my phone?
You need an eSIM-capable phone that is carrier-unlocked. The QR code installs once, so install it on the phone you are travelling with.
Do I keep my own SIM?
Yes. A Taro plan installs alongside the SIM you already use, so your home number stays reachable while Taro carries your data and travel number.
Can I share the data with a laptop?
Yes — hotspot sharing is supported. The plan page confirms it for the plan you pick.
Can I call home on the travel number?
Some plans include international minutes or a calling credit. The plan page lists the exact allowance.
Where can I use a Taro plan?
Each plan page lists the countries it covers and the network it uses. Regional plans roam between the countries they cover. See all plans.
