Just like a regular physical SIM card, eSIM allows you to connect to a mobile operator’s network, access the internet, use email, apps, online games, and popular messengers for quick messaging or calls. It is a full-fledged replacement for traditional SIM cards.
However, it’s important to note that travel eSIMs work a bit differently: they don’t have their own phone number and provide mobile internet only. This means you can freely use messengers — make calls, send messages, and share files as usual. However, regular phone calls and SMS via the mobile network will not be available, since these plans are designed exclusively for internet access.
