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

Question

I will be traveling to Vietnam soon and want to make sure I can still use WhatsApp with my home number while I'm there. I plan to use a GotoeSIM for data but am unsure how to keep my home number active for WhatsApp. Any advice on how to do this effectively?

To keep your home number active on WhatsApp while using a GotoeSIM, make sure that your home SIM card remains in your device. You can do this by using dual SIM settings if your phone supports it, allowing you to use both the local data and your home number simultaneously.

Another option is to use WhatsApp Web. Before you leave, log into WhatsApp on your laptop or another device, and link it to your phone. As long as your home number is still active, you can use WhatsApp while connected to the GotoeSIM data.

I found that as long as my home SIM was in the phone, I could receive SMS verification codes for WhatsApp too. Just keep your phone connected to the Internet with the GotoeSIM.

Make sure to enable roaming on your home SIM before you leave. I had to do this to ensure I could still verify my number while abroad.
