Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a UK or Europe eSIM?
A UK plan can suit a single-country trip. A regional Europe plan may be more convenient when visiting several supported destinations.
Can I keep WhatsApp with my usual number?
Using a data eSIM does not normally change the phone number registered to WhatsApp. Avoid re-registering the app unless you intend to change numbers.
Can I keep my main SIM active?
Most compatible dual-SIM devices allow this, but settings and carrier charges vary. Disable home-SIM data roaming if you do not want it used abroad.
