Does it include calls or a local phone number?

No. It is a data plan, so calls and texts stay on your home SIM, which can mean roaming charges for those.

Which phones can use it?

Any carrier-unlocked phone with eSIM support, such as recent iPhones and many recent Android flagships. Check your model before buying.

You scan a QR code to add the eSIM, then switch data to it. No store visit or plastic card is involved.

The plan runs for 10 days from activation, so install it just before you travel rather than weeks ahead.

Hotspot use depends on the local network and can use up the 6 GB quickly. Treat tethering as occasional.

For maps, messaging and light browsing, yes. For streaming or heavy photo uploads, it will likely run short.
