Questions about an Algeria eSIM with a number
Important answers before purchasing and using the calls or texts included with your plan.
Read the full FAQDoes the Algeria eSIM include a real phone number?
Plans labelled “with a number” include a new phone number assigned after the eSIM is created. Data-only plans do not provide a number.
Will the provided number always start with +213?
No. “Algeria eSIM” means the plan can be used in Algeria; it does not guarantee an Algerian country code. The exact number and code appear after creation.
When can I see my new number?
The number appears under “My eSIMs” once payment is confirmed and the eSIM profile has been generated.
How do I make a call with the eSIM line?
Open the Phone app, select the eSIM line before dialling and call within the minute allowance and supported destinations of the plan.
How do I send a text from the eSIM?
Choose the eSIM line as the sending line in the Messages app. Each sent text is deducted from the allowance shown with the plan.
Can I receive verification codes by text?
Standard texts may work, but banks, platforms and other services decide which number types they accept. A verification code is therefore not guaranteed.
Do I need to change my WhatsApp number?
No. WhatsApp can keep using your usual number while connecting through the eSIM mobile data. Only change it in the app if you truly want to.
Can I keep my usual SIM active?
Yes, if your phone supports Dual SIM. Select the eSIM for the required data, calls or texts and keep data roaming off on your main SIM.
What happens to the number when the plan ends?
The number and phone services are tied to the plan and its validity. Do not treat it as a permanent line beyond the displayed validity.
Why does a plan with a number cost more?
It adds a phone number, call minutes and texts to the data allowance. If you only need internet and messaging apps, a data plan is usually a better fit.
