How can I keep using my WhatsApp linked to my home number while in Bali?

Question

I'm traveling to Bali soon and want to use WhatsApp without losing access to my home number. Can I just use my eSIM for data and still keep receiving messages on my home number? Any tips for smooth communication while abroad?

Yes, you can definitely keep using WhatsApp linked to your home number while in Bali. Just ensure your home SIM is still active, and when you arrive, switch to your new eSIM for data. You can receive messages on your home number using Wi-Fi or mobile data from the eSIM.
