dcpnz had some questions above.
el chup - still need an unblocked phone for a cheap eSim though, correct?

Unlocked. Her tmobile works over there but the local eSIM is much less expensive. It just seems to be configured incorrectly somehow so her texting is limited
Double check instructions from wherever you got the eSim …..But a few suggestions:
Go to settings / cellular
Under SIMs click on the esim and check it is both turned on and data roaming enabled
Go back to settings / cellular
At top Cellular Data - make sure the eSIM is selected; turn off cellular data switching
Go to settings / apps and scroll down to messages
Make sure cellular data is enabled

Use WhatsApp?
Primary line can remain active for voice and text so you’ll get it but it might cost you a whopping ten cents for an SMS text
If you’re in Apple ecosystem most iMessages use data so free; I think android RCS messages do same
But yeah - use whatsapp if you can for voice calls as well
