Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Bolivia?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Brazil. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and TravelKon offer plans that give you a virtual number with inbound voice, outbound voice, inbound SMS and, in most cases, outbound SMS. Prices for these plans start at about $6 for a 1 GB data package with a 7‑day validity and rise to roughly $105 for a 20 GB package valid for 365 days. The Telephony feature sets vary slightly: GlobaleSIM plans provide inbound voice and outbound voice with inbound SMS only, while Roamify’s Global Premium packages offer both inbound and outbound SMS, and TravelKon similarly offers inbound and outbound SMS.

All of the available numbers use foreign dialing codes. GlobaleSIM and most Roamify plans assign a number with the +1 dialing code, and TravelKon offers a number with the +33 code. None of the plans provide a local Bolivian +591 number. Travelers who need a local phone number would need to look elsewhere or use alternative communication methods such as VoIP apps over the data connection.
