You can access as many apps and websites as you like with an eSIM, as long as there are no restrictions. eSIM data requires a routing method that operates through a roaming platform, which sometimes can’t be accessed due to certain security settings. Some apps and websites restrict access because of proxy settings, security protocols, or location and service provider restrictions.
