Can I use an EastESIM in Japan to make traditional phone calls or send SMS messages?

EastESIM plans for Japan are primarily data-focused, meaning they provide robust internet access but typically do not come with a local Japanese phone number for traditional calls or SMS. However, this doesn't mean you'll be out of touch! With your high-speed data connection from local carriers like SoftBank, you can easily use popular messaging and calling apps such as WhatsApp, Line, FaceTime, or Skype. This allows you to stay connected with friends, family, and even make local reservations while exploring Osaka or Hokkaido.
