Can I make phone calls or send SMS with my eSIM?

For most NUesim eSIMs, you will not be able to make phone calls or send SMS text messages, as our eSIM packs provide data only. 

However, you can use internet-based calls and messages with your NUesim eSIM. This includes:


Internet-Based Calling

  • VoIP (Voice over IP) apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, etc.
  • Video calling apps like Zoom, Google Meet, etc.


Internet-Based Messaging

  • Messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, etc.
  • Social media platforms with messaging features like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Setting Up Before Using eSIM

Please note that if you plan to use third-party apps for calling or texting over the internet, ensure that you already have them set up and configured before using your NUesim eSIM.

This may include:

  • Installing the required apps on your device
  • Creating accounts and signing in to the apps
  • Adding contacts or friends to the apps
  • Ensuring the apps have the necessary permissions (e.g., microphone, camera)

By setting up these internet-based communication apps beforehand, you can seamlessly transition to using them with your NUesim eSIM's data connection for calls and messaging. Please visit NUesim store for the latest range of data eSIMs we have available.
