Can I make calls or send SMS using an EastESIM in the Philippines?

EastESIM plans for the Philippines are primarily designed to provide you with seamless mobile data, offering excellent internet access throughout your travels. While these eSIMs typically don't include a traditional local phone number for standard calls or SMS, you can easily use data-based communication applications. Popular apps like WhatsApp, Viber (widely used in the Philippines), Messenger, or FaceTime allow you to make calls and send messages over the internet. This ensures you stay connected with friends, family, and local contacts as you explore the archipelago, from Boracay to Banaue.
