Set Up Your eSIM Before You Fly

Keep Your Home SIM Active
On a dual-SIM phone, keep your regular SIM for calls and texts. Set your HelloRoam eSIM as the default data line in Pakistan. You stay reachable on your home number while using local data.
Save Emergency Numbers
Pakistan's emergency numbers are 15 for police, 115 for rescue, and 1122 for Punjab rescue. In Islamabad, the rescue number is 1122. Save these before you travel, especially for northern mountain treks.
