View submission: E-sim vs physical sim as tourist

View parent comment

Hmm.. is that really true? I remember getting a temporary physical SIM card at the airport and it had a phone number, voice calls, and SMS.

Yups, the tourist physical sim comes with a local phone number and credits for voice calling, which you can get at the airport.

My wife got a CHT physical sim while I used Maya mobile esim, but I mooched her local phone number to get text messages to activate local apps like Foodpanda and Linepay.
