Apps like Hushed offer a free eSIM phone number to try for three days, with unlimited calling and texting.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because if you&#8217;re the proud new owner of a data-only eSIM, you may be wondering &#8220;How the heck do I make a phone call with this thing? I don&#8217;t see a phone number anywhere?&#8221;&nbsp;While traditional plastic SIM cards sometimes come with phone numbers, most eSIMs are what&#8217;s called &#8220;data-only.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A data-only eSIM provides your device with the data it needs to connect to the internet, but <em>not&nbsp;<\/em>a phone number you can pass out to friends and family.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t fret, though. You can absolutely still make and receive calls with an eSIM. (And we&#8217;ll walk you through three different options.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three ways to make phone calls with a data-only eSIM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Make calls using the internet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, we&#8217;re going to give a shout-out to our sister app, <a href=\"https:\/\/hushed.onelink.me\/hushed\/alosim\"><strong>Hushed<\/strong><\/a>. With Hushed, you can get a <a href=\"https:\/\/hushed.onelink.me\/hushed\/alosim\">low-cost temporary phone number<\/a> in one of 300+ area codes worldwide and use it just like a normal phone line. Calling, texting, voicemail, the whole meal deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other internet calling options include WhatsApp, Zoom, FaceTime, and Skype. Since they run on internet connections, your data-only eSIM will do the job perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can also use apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/support.alosim.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7404785363479-How-do-I-set-up-iMessage-with-an-eSIM-\">iMessage<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.alosim.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7492528123543-How-do-I-set-up-FaceTime-with-an-eSIM-\">FaceTime<\/a>. (When iMessage is <a href=\"https:\/\/support.alosim.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7404785363479-How-do-I-set-up-iMessage-with-an-eSIM-\">connected to your Apple ID<\/a> email address, messages are sent over Wi-Fi or data and don&#8217;t count as texts.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all of the options above, just be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/avoid-data-roaming-charges-international-travel\/\">keep Data Roaming OFF<\/a> for your primary SIM, so your carrier doesn&#8217;t try to connect you to an international network. You want your device to only be relying on your eSIM for data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>2. Call over a social media platform<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already have a Facebook account, it&#8217;s easy to make video calls on Messenger. Instagram also has a calling feature within the DMs, so you can connect with your contacts there. Once again, <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/what-are-the-correct-roaming-settings-when-using-esim\/\">keep Data Roaming OFF<\/a> for your primary SIM, to avoid roaming charges, and make sure your device is only relying on your eSIM for data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Call using your main phone number<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it&#8217;s true! You can use a data-only eSIM to power your regular phone number. But this part can be confusing, so let&#8217;s explain the difference between freely using your phone on vacation (data, calling, texting) with your usual phone plan, versus carefully using your phone number on vacation while using a travel eSIM for all data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remember, data is different than calling\/texting&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you&#8217;ve never heard of aloSIM, okay? You&#8217;re living your life, you leave on vacation, you turn on roaming so you&#8217;re connected, you use a bunch of data, and you make\/receive phone calls during your trip. The phone calls themselves might not be that expensive (your regular carrier will charge by the minute), but the <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/what-are-roaming-charges-and-how-do-i-avoid-them\/\">roaming charges will be steep<\/a> because your phone was struggling to find an international network connection that whole time. We do not recommend this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Use an eSIM for all mobile data, and call\/text sparingly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re an awesome person who uses <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.onelink.me\/NWPY\/esim\">aloSIM<\/a> to get local data for your vacation, you can still keep your regular phone number fully accessible. Turn off &#8216;Data Roaming&#8217; on your primary SIM, make sure you don&#8217;t have a <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-with-esim-data\/#carrier\">carrier travel plan<\/a>, and you&#8217;re all set. Because eSIM data is prepaid, <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/data-esim-travel-tip\/\">you will not pay any data roaming charges.<\/a> But your carrier will bill <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-with-esim-data\/\">pay-per-use fees for any active calls\/texts<\/a> that occur while you&#8217;re in another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use your phone number with a data-only eSIM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Leave your primary SIM on<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need your primary SIM to remain active so your regular phone number is accessible. If you toggle off your primary SIM (or remove the card), you can&#8217;t use your phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Turn Data Roaming off for your primary SIM<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to prevent your primary SIM from using data when you&#8217;re travelling internationally. So toggle off &#8216;Data Roaming&#8217; for this SIM prior to your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Confirm you don&#8217;t have a carrier travel plan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrier travel plans are when you pay a <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-with-esim-data\/#carrier\">flat daily rate<\/a> to use your regular SIM on vacation. Sometimes these plans are <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-with-esim-data\/#carrier\">automatically triggered<\/a> when your carrier detects you&#8217;ve left the country, so <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-with-esim-data\/#carrier\">check with them first<\/a> to make sure you won&#8217;t be placed on a carrier travel plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Choose your eSIM as your data source<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right before you travel (or as soon as you arrive), make sure phone is set up correctly to <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/avoid-data-roaming-charges-international-travel\/\">use your eSIM for all mobile data<\/a>. You don&#8217;t want your phone mistakenly still using your primary SIM for data, which would result in roaming charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your eSIM should be toggled on, with &#8216;Data Roaming&#8217; on, and then you will choose it as your phone&#8217;s data source when you <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/how-to-activate-esim\/\">activate your data package<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Expect carrier fees for <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/use-your-phone-number-for-international-travel\/\">active calls &amp; texts<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re using an eSIM for all mobile data, your home carrier can&#8217;t charge you data roaming fees. However, they&#8217;re still the &#8216;owner&#8217; of your phone number, so they can (and likely will) charge you per call and per text while you&#8217;re abroad. The fees vary depending on your carrier, and your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much does it cost to call with a data-only eSIM?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While your home carrier can&#8217;t charge you for data &#8212; since you&#8217;ve wisely <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/avoid-data-roaming-charges-international-travel\/\">switched OFF Data Roaming<\/a> on your primary SIM to avoid roaming charges and <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-with-esim-data\/#carrier\">confirmed you don&#8217;t have a carrier travel data plan<\/a> &#8212; they <em>can&nbsp;<\/em>still charge you for individual calls and texts, since they&#8217;re still letting you use their network&#8217;s phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You aren&#8217;t charged if a call comes in and you don&#8217;t answer it. <em>(&#8220;Him? Nah, not gonna pick up.)<\/em> But if you decide to answer a call &#8212; or make a call &#8212; your regular phone provider may <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/international-calling-texting\/\">charge you by the minute<\/a> and those extra costs will appear on your next bill. If you don&#8217;t plan on making\/accepting many calls, the fees might be super low, but it&#8217;s best to check your carrier&#8217;s rates before your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How expensive is texting with a data-only eSIM?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMS text messages are typically charged individually, whether they&#8217;re outgoing or incoming. It&#8217;s usually between 50 cents and a dollar or two, per text. So this isn&#8217;t the time for heavy-hitting conversations via a million texts, okay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, some carriers actually don&#8217;t charge anything for incoming texts, even when you&#8217;re travelling internationally. And it&#8217;s even more rate, but select carriers (like <a href=\"https:\/\/alosim.com\/spectrum-mobile-international-calling-texting\/\">Spectrum Mobile<\/a>) offer free incoming and outgoing texting even if you&#8217;re abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/support.alosim.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7404785363479-How-do-I-set-up-iMessage-with-an-eSIM-\">iMessages don&#8217;t count as text messages<\/a> if you have your settings configured correctly. When you&#8217;re relying on your Apple ID, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.alosim.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7404785363479-How-do-I-set-up-iMessage-with-an-eSIM-\">these messages are sent over the internet<\/a> (Wi-Fi or data) between Apple devices only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So there you have it! Three very different methods for making and receiving calls using a data-only eSIM.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now all that&#8217;s left to do for your big trip is start packing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions about eSIM?
