Linda3011 · ‎13-02-2026

Im currently in US with an e-sim (just recently added)for my US number and a physical sim in my phone for my UK number, I can receive messages to my UK number but when my husband calls me on my UK number it says unavailable?? I think it might be be a setting but not sure what??

Calls don't come over WiFi but the mobile network. WiFi can only be used for data.

@Linda3011 : Receiving texts is free but receiving calls is not. If you're on contract, do you have the ROW Zone 1 Travel Pass?

But aren't you on PAYG? If so, do you have enough PAYG credit to pay for received calls?

If you have a US SIM with data, get your husband to call via whatsapp or some other similar app for free?
