Texting App operates independently from your Apple ID and provides a unique virtual phone number using VoIP technology. Here's how it compares to eSIM technology:
Texting App: Uses VoIP technology, allowing users to make and receive calls and texts using a virtual number provided by the app. This virtual number is exclusive to the Texting App platform and does not rely on a physical SIM card or eSIM.
eSIM: An embedded SIM, or eSIM, is a digital chip integrated within your device, capable of storing multiple phone numbers and network operators. It functions similarly to a traditional SIM card but offers more flexibility and compactness.
Key Points to Note:
No Disruption to Existing Lines: Using Texting App will not impact the functionality of your current SIM card or eSIM.
Distinct Services: While both provide phone capabilities, they operate differently and serve separate purposes.
Additional Considerations:
Infeasible to Port: Transferring a virtual number between a Texting App and a traditional network (physical SIM or eSIM) is not possible.
Limitations of Texting App: Texting App may not be suitable for users who need data access or prefer a traditional phone number tied to a specific network operator.
