DataESIM is a data-only service, optimized for high-speed internet access. It does not natively support voice calls to emergency services like 000 in Australia. For emergency situations, you must rely on your primary physical SIM card's voice capabilities or use a VoIP application (like WhatsApp or Messenger) to contact someone who can then dial emergency services on your behalf. Always keep your primary SIM active or have an alternative voice communication method available for critical situations.
