Best Connect eSIM does not provide a Panama eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The provider only offers data‑only plans for Panama, so travelers will not receive an inbound or outbound voice line or SMS service with the eSIM.
With a data‑only plan, travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages. However, because some destinations may restrict or block certain apps or VoIP services, it is advisable to confirm that the specific services a traveler wants to use are accessible in Panama before purchasing a plan.
