Yes, you can use iMessage with your data-only eSIM however, you need to ensure it is configured properly in your settings.
iMessage uses data rather than traditional SMS, so having a data connection is essential.
When you download your new eSIM, your phone will prompt you to set this up in settings to ensure it remains active.
On your iPhone:
- Go to Settings
- Go to Messages
- Turn iMessage off
- Turn iMessage back on
- Select Send & Receive
- Uncheck your phone number and select your email address (this ensures you use your data).
You can reverse these steps and select your phone number when you return home to stop using your eSIM.
