This WestESIM plan for India is designed exclusively for high-speed data connectivity and does not include a local Indian (+91) phone number. This is an important distinction, as certain local services, such as booking trains through IRCTC (Indian Railways), often require a local number for one-time passwords (OTPs). While our eSIM excels at providing data for navigation, communication apps like WhatsApp, and streaming, it is not intended for services that necessitate a local voice line.
