Does esim change your phone number ?
” With Aerobile e-sim, you’ll get a temporary local number* while keeping your home number active. “
Using an eSIM (embedded SIM) can potentially change your phone number, but it depends on the specific circumstances and your carrier’s policies. Here are a few scenarios:
- New Number: When you activate an eSIM for the first time with a carrier, they may assign you a new phone number.
- Number Transfer: If you’re transferring your existing number from a physical SIM to an eSIM, your phone number remains the same.
- Dual SIM: Some phones support using both an eSIM and a physical SIM simultaneously. In this case, you could have two different phone numbers active on your device.
- International Roaming: When traveling internationally, you might use an eSIM to add a temporary local number while keeping your home number active.
Always check with your carrier for specific details on how eSIM activation might affect your phone number.
*some products only provide “Data service” without local phone number.
