Can I use my Flylo United Kingdom eSIM for calls and SMS?

Yes. eSIMs are encrypted by the GSMA standard and can't be cloned the way a physical SIM can. Your account is protected with magic-link login and Apple / Google sign-in — no passwords to leak.

Almost always: data roaming is off, or the wrong line is set as default for mobile data. Open Settings → Cellular, select your Flylo line, switch Data Roaming ON. If you're still stuck, email support@flylo.app — a real human replies within a few hours.
