Decent speeds, though slower than I expected in a few spots. Data lasted the whole trip with room to spare.

Will this keep my WhatsApp active with my home number?
Hi Hugo! Yes, using our eSIM will allow you to keep your WhatsApp active with your home number, as the eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM. You can still receive calls and texts on your home number while using the data from the eSIM. Enjoy your travels! – David, GotoeSIM Support
