Will WhatsApp work with an eSIM?
Yes, you can use WhatsApp on your personal device without any trouble, as it doesn't need a phone number. The phone number is required only for one-time verification. After that, WhatsApp takes only an Internet connection to work, so even if you remove the SIM card from your phone or change the SIM card in your phone, you will still be able to use WhatsApp created using your old number.
