Can I keep using WhatsApp?

Alolilo eSIMs are data-only plans and do not come with a local phone number for calls or SMS. However, you can use VoIP apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or FaceTime to make calls over data.

If you need more data, simply go to your Dashboard, select your active eSIM, and choose a 'Top Up' package. The data will be added to your current eSIM immediately.

Question 10

What if my internet speed is slow?

Accepted Answer

First, ensure you have good signal. If issues persist, check that your APN settings are configured correctly as per the installation guide. Toggling Airplane Mode on/off can also help reset the connection.

Can I reinstall the eSIM if I delete it?
