Can you text internationally with an eSIM?
You can text internationally with an eSIM, but with some limitations.
The ability to text internationally with an eSIM depends on the type of eSIM that you install and how you’re going to text. Some eSIMs include a phone number that allows you to send and receive traditional SMS messages internationally (the messages with the green text bubbles, for iPhone users).
Other eSIMs are data-only. This means that they do not include a phone number for texting, but do provide local mobile data you can use to text internationally thorough messaging apps like WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram.
With aloSIM, eSIMs provide local mobile data, and every purchase includes a free international phone number through Hushed. This means you can text internationally without roaming fees.
