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

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS service are available for Bolivia. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, Earth Esim, Orange Travel, RedEx eSIM, Airhub, Global Starlink, and Roamify offer plans that include inbound and outbound voice (when indicated) and inbound or inbound‑outbound SMS. Prices for the smallest packages start around $6.00 USD for a 1GB/7 day plan, while larger 10‑GB or 20‑GB packages can cost up to about $106.00 USD for 365 days. Validity ranges vary from 1 day to 365 days, and data caps go from 1 GB to 20 GB.

Most of these plans use a foreign dialing code such as +1 or +33, meaning the phone number assigned is not local to Bolivia; the only local number plans are those with dialing code +591, provided by RedEx eSIM. The telecom features are consistent with the dataset: inbound and outbound voice in most cases, and inbound/outbound SMS in many plans, allowing you to receive and send messages as you would with a local SIM.
