You can keep using WhatsApp with your home number by keeping your original SIM in the phone while using GotoeSIM for data. Just ensure your WhatsApp account settings keep your home number as the linked number.

I did this in Thailand. Just make sure you don't deactivate your home SIM and WhatsApp should recognize your home number.

Before you leave, verify your WhatsApp is using your home number. Even if you switch to eSIM, WhatsApp will continue to use this number as long as the app is not uninstalled.

To avoid issues, before leaving, check that WhatsApp is set to your home number under the app settings. The eSIM will handle data, allowing WhatsApp to operate as usual.

I kept my regular SIM in place for texts and verification, switched to GotoeSIM for data, and everything worked perfectly without changing my WhatsApp number.

You can also install WhatsApp on a secondary device as a backup, but ensure your main phone still has the eSIM and original SIM together for seamless messaging.

No need to worry! WhatsApp works with the number it was registered with. Just keep your original SIM in as a backup for text verification if needed.

I traveled through Asia last month; just use your GotoeSIM for data and keep the home SIM in for calls and texts in airplane mode. WhatsApp kept using my home number without issues.
