Does iMessage work with Stippl eSIM?

Yes — iMessage works with your Stippl eSIM as long as you configure it correctly. Because Stippl eSIMs are data-only, you need to ensure iMessage is using your Apple ID (email), not your phone number.

To set up iMessage with a Stippl eSIM:

1. Open Settings > Messages
2. Toggle iMessage OFF
3. Wait 5 seconds, then toggle iMessage ON again
4. Tap Send & Receive
5. Uncheck your phone number (if listed)
6. Make sure your Apple ID email address is selected

This ensures iMessage works via your data-only connection.

Switching back to your regular SIM? If you're done with your Stippl eSIM and want to use your phone number for iMessage again:

• Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
• Check your phone number to re-enable it for messaging
