eSIMNow does not provide any India eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who purchase an India eSIM from eSIMNow will receive only a data‑only connection, which can be used for internet access. For voice and messaging, users can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, though availability of these services can vary in India, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps you need are accessible before purchasing a plan.
