Does my plan include a phone number, calls, or SMS?
No. Your plan is data only, with no phone number, calls, or SMS. Calls and texts keep using your home number. Anything that runs over data works as usual: WhatsApp, FaceTime, Google Meet, iMessage, maps, and banking apps.
More detail
Your home line stays on your phone next to the MTN Travel eSIM line. Nobody needs a new number to reach you, and one-time codes sent by SMS still arrive on your home number. Keep the home line switched on and its data roaming off, so it receives calls and texts without running up charges; see Turn off data roaming on your home SIM before you fly.
Calls over your home line abroad are charged by your home carrier at its roaming rate. Calls over an app on the MTN Travel eSIM line use your plan's data instead. Wi-Fi calling on your home line works where your carrier supports it; see Calls and Wi-Fi calling while using your MTN Travel eSIM.
