Can I make phone calls with a Middle East eSIM?

Most Middle East eSIM plans for travelers are data‑only and do not include a local phone number for traditional voice calls or SMS. This is similar to EasyAlo’s data‑only offers in destinations like Guinea‑Bissau or the Central African Republic (FAQ IDs 615 and 3085). However, you can easily make voice and video calls using apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, Telegram or Signal. As long as you have data coverage, these app‑based calls work well across the region and are usually the most convenient way to stay in touch with friends, family and hotels.
