If you are using a Simly eSIM and wondering whether you can make or receive phone calls and SMS messages, here’s what you need to know:
Data-Only eSIMs
Simly eSIMs are specifically designed as data-only eSIMs. This means they are intended to provide internet access without the ability to make or receive traditional phone calls and SMS messages.
When you purchase an eSIM from the Simly app, you’ll notice that each plan is labeled as "Data Only." This ensures that users have internet connectivity for browsing, using apps, streaming, and other online activities.
What This Means for You
No Phone Calls or SMS: Since the eSIMs are data-only, they do not include a phone number, and therefore, you won't be able to make or receive calls or send text messages through the standard phone app.
Internet Use: You can still use internet-based calling and messaging apps (like WhatsApp or Messenger) to communicate with others as long as you have an active internet connection.
If you need internet access while travelling or when away from your home network, a Simly eSIM is an excellent option for staying connected online.
