Can I make traditional calls or send SMS texts with my UK HotelESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

Most HotelESIM plans for the United Kingdom are primarily focused on providing robust data connectivity, serving as an excellent backup to your hotel's Wi-Fi. This means they are generally data-only. However, you can effortlessly use popular internet-based communication apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, or Skype for making calls and sending messages over your HotelESIM data connection. If you specifically require a local UK phone number for traditional calls and SMS, you might consider using a virtual number service or a VoIP application alongside your HotelESIM.
