EastESIM provides a convenient data-only service, meaning it doesn't include a local phone number for countries like Japan or Thailand. However, this is rarely an issue for travelers today! You can easily stay in touch with friends, family, and even local services using data-based communication apps. Popular choices like LINE (ubiquitous in Japan and Thailand), WhatsApp, or KakaoTalk (essential in Korea) work perfectly over your EastESIM data for calls and messages.
