Does this eSIMFlyer plan for India include a local Indian (+91) phone number, useful for services like IRCTC train bookings?

No, it's important to understand that this is a data-only eSIM and does not come with a local Indian (+91) phone number. This distinction is crucial, particularly if you plan to use services like IRCTC (Indian Railways) for train bookings, which frequently require a local number for OTP verification. While eSIMFlyer provides high-speed data for all your online needs – maps, Uber, WhatsApp calls, and browsing – it won't fulfill requirements for services needing a domestic phone number.
