Can I make phone calls with Ubigi eSIM data plans?


Ubigi eSIM provides data-only services. Thanks to Ubigi data plans, you will be able to connect to the Internet wherever you are in the world.

So, you can not make phone calls with Ubigi eSIM data plans but you can use iMessage and your favorite VoIP applications such as Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger, etc. By using these VoIP apps, you will be able to make calls and send text messages.

For iPhone users, you can also keep using your home-based carrier line to make calls and send SMS while using Ubigi mobile data. Calls and SMS will be charged by your domestic carrier.

Currently using in India. Stable connection barring a small event where there was no connectivity for about a couple of hours on Sunday the 12th. Very handy, easy to set up. Happy so far.

Ubigi worked straight away and was easy to use
Ubigi worked straight away and it was very easy to get it set up. Once I landed in Japan I turned the Ubigi e-sim on and it connected straight away. It worked on Okinawa and Ishigaki. Also worked when I was back in Tokyo. I only had to restart my phone once when it had a flakey connection - worked perfectly after a quick restart. Had great coverage when I was in Japan. I would use them again for my travels.
