aloSIM does not provide eSIM plans that include a local phone number or SMS service for India. Travelers can only purchase data‑only plans from this provider, and the plans do not support inbound or outbound voice calls or text messaging.
Because of the lack of a local phone number, users who need to make calls or send messages should rely on VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage that operate over the data connection. However, availability of these apps can vary, as some destinations may block or restrict certain services, so travelers should confirm that the apps they need work in India before buying an aloSIM eSIM.
