Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Still yes—but with a few things to keep in mind.
Many are unsure about how eSIMs work with their existing numbers.
Here’s the deal:
- Keep your home number active: Most modern smartphones support dual SIM functionality. This means you can keep your physical SIM (with your regular number) active for calls and texts while using a Simify eSIM for data.
- Why keep it? Two words: security codes. Keeping your number active means you can still receive those annoying-but-essential texts from your bank, Airbnb, or any other service using 2FA or MFA (multi-factor authentication). No sim-swap panic. No lockouts.
- Be mindful of roaming charges: While incoming texts are usually free, outgoing calls and texts on your home SIM may incur roaming fees. Always check with your provider before traveling.
- Use data apps for communication: With our eSIM, you get affordable data to use apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, or FaceTime for calls and messages, helping you avoid traditional roaming charges.
So, yes—you can stay connected with your existing number and enjoy seamless data overseas.
