Use of eSims for Overseas numbers

If you want to use an eSim from another country to get a local number from there this is possible if you can find a carrier that you can purchase one from.

This means that you can have a phone in your local country and be texting from your country with another country with a local number.

i.e you could purchase an eSim from America when you live in Australia to text the US with a local number while holding the phone in Australia.

In order to do this you will need

  1. An eSim compatible phone
  2. An eSim from whatever country you wish to send receive

In order to avoid global roaming charges turn of your cell signal and use Wifi to send the SMS 

Overseas eSIM Options

In order to purchase an eSIM for use overseas you may need to get a person local in the country to order the eSIM for you as verification can be required.

For the USA we have clients that have been able to purchase eSIMs from Tello while outside of the country - https://tello.com/buy/esim

Please do your own checks before purchasing an eSIM that they are compatible with your phone and will fulfil your requirements as myCRMSIM is not responsible for any operation of eSIM carriers and their plans.
