Bordersim does not offer an eSIM plan for Italy that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The provider only sells data‑only plans for this destination, so travelers cannot receive or send standard voice calls or text messages through the eSIM.
Instead, users can rely on VoIP and messaging services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages. Some destinations may block or restrict access to these apps, so travelers should confirm that the services they depend on work in Italy before buying a plan.
