eSIM

Hi, 

I'm currently abroad and I'd like to purchase a prepaid eSIM card. When purchasing the eSIM card, is it possible to choose the area code for the phone number? I live in Hawaii, so I would prefer a local number with the 808 area code. Thank you!

    Without you physically here you can’t get one.  esims are “geo-fenced.”  As for an 808 number you also have to be physically here as well to even get a chance for an 808 number(Hawaii law doesn’t allow 808 numbers to given outside of Hawaii. Has to originate from inside Hawaii.)
