Why Am I Receiving Unexpected Text Messages on My eSIM?

If you’ve recently activated your RapideSIM eSIM with Holyfly, you might find yourself receiving text messages from unfamiliar numbers or in foreign languages. While this can be confusing, it’s usually a normal part of using eSIM technology. Here’s why you might be receiving these messages and how to handle any issues.

Common Reasons for Receiving Text Messages on Your RapideSIM eSIM

1. Notification Messages from eSIM Providers

When you use a RapideSIM eSIM, particularly with providers like Three UK, you may receive messages indicating that your eSIM is associated with a British phone number. This is an internal procedure by the provider and occurs even if you’re not physically in the UK. This assigned number cannot be used for making calls or sending texts.

2. Messages in Foreign Languages

Certain RapideSIM eSIMs, such as those for regions like Mexico or Argentina, work with network providers based in other countries, such as AIS in Thailand. You might receive messages in Thai when activating these eSIMs. This happens because the network provider defaults to Thai for notifications, as they do not have information about your preferred language.

How to Troubleshoot eSIM Issues

1. eSIM Stops Working After Receiving a Message

If your eSIM stops functioning right after receiving a message, it might indicate that your data plan has run out. To check, look at your data usage in your device’s settings. If your data seems depleted prematurely or if you face any other issues, contact us via webchat or email us at support@rapidesim.com for assistance.
