will my original mobile number and whatsapp work with an esim ?
Yes — this is one of the biggest advantages of using an eSIM.
Most phones support Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS):
- Physical SIM stays active for calls & OTPs
- Prune eSIM works as your data line
What happens to WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is linked to your phone number, not SIM type.
So even with Prune eSIM data:
WhatsApp stays on your current number
No re-registration required
WhatsApp calls & chats work normally
Important tip to avoid extra charges
On your Indian SIM:
Keep Data Roaming OFF
Calls/SMS can stay ON for OTPs
Use Prune eSIM for data
