Is there any eSIM service that supports SMS and doesn’t cost a lot?

I know we can get multiple-use/throwaway eSIMs for data. Those are cheap and usually data-only. Is there anything similar for SMS as well? Something temporary that I can use and throw away just to send a few SMS. I don't even need data.


It shouldn’t require KYC and should be cheap. From what I’m seeing, these eSIMs cost a minimum of $10 and come with long validity. I’m fine with short validity or even 1-day validity, as long as it’s cheap.

You didn't mention where you are located. Not all eSim services work worldwide.

Here is one in Estonia - You can get an eSIM for 1 EUR, no KYC, and can send SMS:

https://www.super.ee/en/

The trick here is getting it working on your phone, as you need to use a VPN (a mobile Estonian proxy would be better). Set your location to Estonia, then download the super app from Play Store (if you are using Android) or the App Store for iPhone.

If you want the data working you need to activate roaming. They have a tutorial on their website on how to do it.

All in all, it is an hassle and not sure if it's worth to go this route just to save a few bucks but it is an option if you really need it.

Don't forget, you can send SMS but if you send it to outside the EU area you likely need to pay more, how much more you need to check from their website if you find it... I don't bother to do all the research.

I am currently in Japan. I thought most of the esim providers have partnership with local service providers, and roaming would work.

Here local sims are costlier & pixelized just like our po##, that's why I am looking for a global one.
 
the main thing id check is whether the esim actually comes with voice/sms and a real number

a lot of travel esims support roaming worldwide but they are still data only, so roaming by itself doesnt mean you can send sms

for what you need id filter for sms first, then check japan roaming and outbound sms cost

But from where to buy is the question. Trip.com Klook is mostly data based sims, those are like wifi cards.
 
No one? Really?!

Did you mean "Mysudo"? But they do not have esims. It's an app. I don't want to send sms from their app, but rather from my message app. So I need an esim.
 
Most of those cheap global eSIMs are data-only, roaming or not, so check the listing says voice/SMS and gives you a real number before buying. Also careful with Japan, they're strict about ID on local voice SIMs, so a "no KYC" plan there is unlikely. If you only need to receive a few SMS, a rental number is way cheaper than any eSIM. If you need to send, go for a prepaid eSIM from a country with lax registration and just top up the minimum.
 
The reason you can't find it is regulation more than price. Anything with a real mobile number needs a carrier behind it, and most countries require ID for that, so cheap + no KYC + real number rarely exists together. The cheap travel eSIMs are data-only by design, and the ones with a number are usually full prepaid plans, which is why the minimum is around $10. If you go that route, check outbound SMS pricing while roaming in Japan, that's usually where it gets expensive.
