They come from the local network your eSIM has connected to, and they are entirely normal. When your profile registers on a partner network abroad, that operator often sends a welcome message, data-usage alerts, or promotions in the local language. Receiving them is a sign the eSIM is working, not that something is wrong. They cost you nothing, they do not consume your data allowance, and you can ignore or delete them. Below: which messages are worth reading, and which to disregard.
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.
