Drivers and couriers can call you
Drivers and couriers can call you — incoming calls are unlimited on every plan.
Day-to-day life in Bhutan runs on WeChat, Facebook and Messenger, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. A +975 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Tour operators and guests: Visitors arranging trips through licensed Bhutanese tour operators often coordinate guides and drivers by phone and WeChat.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
WeChat is unusually popular in Bhutan, alongside Facebook, and much everyday coordination happens there. Many young Bhutanese have moved to Australia for work and study, so a local number is a practical bridge between the two countries.
