class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/what-is-esim\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>eSIM&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><strong>with a phone number<\/strong> is a digital SIM that not only gives you mobile data but also assigns you a local phone number. With this number, you can make and receive calls, send SMS, and complete app or banking verifications that require text messages. Unlike data-only eSIMs, which are mainly for internet access, an eSIM with a phone number works more like a traditional SIM card issued by a local carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can-you-get-an-eSIM-with-a-phone-number\"><\/span>Can you get an eSIM with a phone number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any plan, <strong>an eSIM for your home mobile phone contract will come with a phone number<\/strong>, unless you opt for a data-only eSIM. You can also easily switch from a<a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/convert-sim-to-esim\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0physical<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/convert-sim-to-esim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> SIM to an eSIM<\/a> and keep your number, as long as your phone is <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/esim-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eSIM-compatible<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case for international travel eSIMs is different. Yes, <strong>some travel eSIM providers offer a local phone number<\/strong>, like in<a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Holafly<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Plans<\/a>&#8216; Unlimited Plan. This said, <strong>it&#8217;s not common<\/strong>. Even if you get an eSIM with a phone number, these are often limited to local calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, <strong>tourists mostly opt for data-only eSIMs<\/strong>. These are a cheaper option, still give you access to VoIP apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, and let you keep your primary phone number for emergencies and authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why buy an eSIM with a phone number?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are only a handful of reasons why you&#8217;d need an eSIM with a phone number if you are travelling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You need a local number for traditional calls and SMS<\/strong>. Some situations require an actual phone number: business calls with local clients, appointments with service providers (hotels, restaurants, tours), or banking verification that doesn&#8217;t support VoIP apps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You&#8217;re using local services that require local numbers<\/strong>. Certain services, such as food delivery, ride-sharing apps, or rental services, may require a local phone number for verification or customer support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You cannot use WhatsApp, Telegram, or similar apps for calls<\/strong>. If your contacts don&#8217;t have internet-based calling apps, or you&#8217;re travelling to areas with limited app adoption, a traditional phone number becomes necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For all other reasons, you can get by with a data-only eSIM, preferably one that offers unlimited data. Moreover, you can get it in minutes, and you don&#8217;t have to worry about contracts or working around getting a local address for a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still think an eSIM with a phone number is your only solution, here are some options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-can-you-get-an-eSIM-with-a-phone-number\"><\/span>Where can you get an eSIM with a phone number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some carriers that support eSIM in the most popular destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia eSIM with phone number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Australia, all three major carriers support eSIM, and you can generally sort out a prepaid plan online before you land.
