A traditional cell plan typically includes calls, texts, and possibly data, using a physical SIM card linked to a unique phone number. In contrast, an eSIM data package provides only data, without a phone number. iRoamly's data packages enhance eSIM-compatible devices, supporting various online activities such as emailing, social networking, Wi-Fi and video calls, web browsing, navigation, iMessaging, online gaming, and streaming. While data-only eSIMs don't have a phone number, you can still make calls and send texts using internet-based services.
