Questions
Can I use OurByt and Airalo on the same phone?
Yes. Most eSIM phones hold several eSIMs, so you can keep Airalo installed and add OurByt alongside it. Choose which line to use for mobile data in your phone's settings.
Do I need an OurByt number to make calls?
No. Calling credit alone lets you call any phone. People you call see a shared OurByt caller ID. With your own number, they see that number and can call or text you back.
Does OurByt work with my home SIM?
Yes. Keep your home SIM on for calls and texts, including bank codes, while the OurByt eSIM handles data.
