eSIM Travel Tips for Bangkok
Install your eSIM before your flight from IGI, BOM, or BLR

Keep your Jio or Airtel SIM for calls from India
On a dual-SIM phone, keep your Jio, Airtel, or Vi SIM active for family calls from India. Set HelloRoam as your data line. You stay reachable on your Indian number without paying heavy roaming charges on your home carrier.
