Calls, texts and hotspot

An Atli eSIM is data only. It has no phone number of its own, and regular calls and SMS do not run over it.

• Your own SIM stays in your phone and keeps your number
• Calls and texts work as usual, on your normal carrier at their rates
• Apps that run over data work on the Atli eSIM: WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, Telegram, Instagram, maps, email. Calls inside those apps included

Hotspot works, with no limits of its own.

• Share with as many devices as you like, at full speed
• Turn it on in your phone settings and set a password
• It comes out of your data plan, and laptops use more than phones, so keep an eye on your usage

Two things to avoid.

• Do not enter a phone number for the Atli eSIM in your device settings. It breaks the eSIM and makes that number unusable
• Do not convert your physical SIM to an eSIM. That is a separate option in your settings, it has nothing to do with Atli, and it cannot be undone. Abroad you would need a new physical SIM from your provider
