For most Airalo eSIMs, you will not be able to make phone calls or send SMS text messages, as our eSIM packs provide data only. **Telephony services like Texts(SMS) and calls are not possible using a Data-only eSIM**. However, you can use **internet-based calls** and **messages**.

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

You can find what kind of plan is supported by the desired eSIM prior to purchase in the package selection. The information is also available in **my eSIMs** on your eSIM when you view the **details**.
