How to keep WhatsApp active on my home number in Vietnam?

Question

I'm traveling to Vietnam and want to make sure I can still use my WhatsApp with my home number. Will using a travel eSIM affect this? Do I need to do anything special to keep it active while I’m there?

You can keep using WhatsApp with your home number while in Vietnam. Just ensure you have an active internet connection through the eSIM, and you should be able to send and receive messages without any issues.

I traveled to Vietnam last year and had no problems with WhatsApp. Just connect to Wi-Fi or your eSIM data, and your messages will still come through!

Before you leave, make sure to enable international roaming on your home number if needed. This will help you receive any verification codes sent to your WhatsApp.

It's good to have your home SIM kept inside but switch off mobile data for it. Just use the eSIM for data to avoid charges.
