Can I make phone calls and send SMS with eSIM?

Bonjola's eSIMs currently do not include calls or SMS. You will not get a new phone number.

But, don't worry, this means you'll be able to continue using WhatsApp or any other app to communicate with your friends and family using data.

You won't lose your contacts or conversations.

What happens to unused eSIM data at the end of each month?

Bonjola eSIMs are only valid for the duration of the plan. If you do not use up all of your data, that data is lost and cannot be accessed again.

We issue your data in 30 day increments. Any unused data at the end of each 30 day period will not rollover.

Can I use my eSIM for a personal hotspot or tethering?

Yes, you can use your eSIM’s internet data on other devices by creating a personal hotspot.

 

On iOS, you can do this under the “Personal Hotspot” menu under settings and on Android, you can do this under the “WiFi hotspot” settings.

 

How do I check which eSIM is being used for my data?

 

On iOS / iPhone

Go to Settings > Cellular or Mobile > Cellular Data

 

You’ll see “On” next to the name of the eSIM being used.

 

 

On Android:

Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network

 

Here, you’ll see the name of the eSIM which you had set up during installation.

 

 

On Samsung Devices:

Go to Settings > Connections > SIM Card Manager

 

Under preferred SIM card, you’ll see the name of the eSIM under use.
