How do I call and text with an eSIM?
While our eSIMs do not come with their own phone numbers, we are currently offering a free Hushed phone number with most eSIM data puchases, and there are plenty of options when it comes to calling and texting while using an eSIM for data.
- You can call and text on your regular phone number
- You can send/receive iMessages on an iPhone or iPad
- You can call/text on a temporary number from Hushed
- You can chat on other apps, like WhatsApp and Messenger
During international travel, some people prefer to keep their regular phone number active so they can call/text normally (or in case of emergencies), while other people decide to switch off their regular phone number to avoid carrier fees for calls and texts.
If you're worried about avoiding roaming charges, we have interactive guides that explain how your roaming settings should look.
