Traveling today is easier than ever, but staying connected without losing your phone number can be a real challenge. If you're thinking of using an international eSIM to keep your number abroad, stop for a moment: the reality is more nuanced than it seems. Let's find out together how it really works and how solutions like BLIVALE can revolutionize the way you communicate wherever you are.
International eSIMs: data yes, personal number… almost never
International eSIMs are the ideal choice for those who want to surf the Internet as soon as they land in a new country, without having to physically change the SIM card on their phone. Activating an eSIM is simple: just scan a QR code and you're done. However, most international eSIMs only offer data traffic and, only in rare cases, a local number for the destination country.
The myth to dispel: keeping your number abroad
If you want to keep your home phone number while abroad, an international eSIM is not the magic solution you imagine. Only an eSIM from your home operator allows you to receive calls and texts on your usual number, but with often high roaming costs. International eSIMs, on the other hand, rarely assign a phone number, and if they do, it is almost always a local number, not your original number.

Why is a DID number useful while traveling?
Traveling abroad often means you need to be easily reachable by clients, friends, family or colleagues, without having to change your phone number or face exorbitant roaming charges. This is where a Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number comes in .
A DID number allows you to have a local phone number in a certain country, while still using your smartphone anywhere in the world. This offers numerous practical and strategic advantages:
Professionalism and reliability : If you travel for work, having a local number conveys trust to foreign customers and partners, who will be able to contact you as if you were actually present in their country.
Cost savings : Making and receiving calls via a DID number eliminates international roaming charges. All calls are handled over the internet, with transparent rates that are often much lower than traditional calls.
Global Accessibility : You can receive calls from all over the world, wherever you are, simply by having a data connection. It doesn't matter if you are at the airport, in a hotel or in a remote area: your DID number will always be active.
Privacy and Security : You can separate your personal life from your work life, or create temporary numbers for specific trips, projects or needs, without having to disclose your personal number.
Ease of management : Everything is managed via the app: activation, reception and forwarding of calls, without the need to change SIM cards or carry other devices.
In short, a DID number is the ideal solution for those who want to always remain reachable, maintain their digital identity and communicate in a professional and convenient way, anywhere in the world.

Digital nomads and freelancers : Those who work remotely from anywhere in the world can use a DID number to manage work calls without having to change SIM or personal number, maintaining their privacy and separating the work sphere from the private one.
Tourists and frequent travellers : A DID number allows you to receive calls from friends and family as if you were still in your own country, avoiding roaming costs and making it easier to be reached throughout your trip.
Students Abroad : Those studying outside their country can easily communicate with their families and local institutions, using a DID number that also simplifies access to services and registrations.

Only the SIM or eSIM from your national operator keeps your number, but with often prohibitive roaming costs.
With BLIVALE you can have a DID VoIP number (landline or mobile) that allows you to be reachable anywhere, use all the apps and save on costs.
