WestESIM focuses on providing robust, high-speed internet connectivity. Our plans are typically data-only, meaning they do not come with a local phone number for traditional calls and SMS. However, this does not hinder your communication capabilities. You can seamlessly continue using your existing phone number for all popular messaging and VoIP applications like WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, and FaceTime, all of which function perfectly over your WestESIM data connection.
