It is possible to obtain a travel eSIM that includes a phone number and SMS when traveling in Western Sahara. Orange Travel offers a “World – Zone 6” plan with 50 MB of data, 30 days validity, and a starting price of $22.50 USD. The plan supplies a phone number that can make and receive voice calls as well as send and receive SMS messages, but the number uses the dialing code 33, which is not a local Western Sahara code, so it will appear as a French number. Travelers who prefer a local number can still use data‑only eSIM options or make voice and text calls with VoIP applications over the data connection.
