GIGAGO does not provide an India eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who choose an India eSIM from GIGAGO will only receive data‑only access. Over this data connection it is still possible to use popular VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage for calls and messaging, but the availability of these apps can be restricted by local network policies. It is advisable to confirm that the messaging or calling apps you rely on can be accessed in India before purchasing a GIGAGO eSIM.
