Yes, Orange Travel offers a travel eSIM that includes a phone number and SMS capability for Turkmenistan. The plan, titled World – Zone 6, costs about $22.50, contains 50 MB of data, and is valid for 30 days. It provides both inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS.

The included phone number uses the dialing code +33, which is a foreign code and therefore is not a local Turkmenistan number. Travelers can use this number to make and receive calls or send and receive SMS, but the number will not be registered in Turkmenistan.
