Do I get a phone number? (Data only)

No. kimsim is data only. WhatsApp, iMessage and FaceTime keep working on your usual number over data.

No. kimsim plans are data only: no phone number, no normal calls or texts.

But you probably won't miss it:

  • WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, Telegram, Signal and the rest keep working on your usual number, over kimsim data.
  • Your home SIM can stay on for normal calls and texts (like bank codes). Those are charged at your home carrier's roaming rates, so check them before you go.
  • More on calls and texts and WhatsApp and iMessage.
  • Keep Data Roaming off on your home line, so it doesn't use data at your carrier's prices. Turn on Data Roaming (and why it matters).
