Questions about Asia Wave
When does my plan start?
The validity period starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Asia Wave, not when you buy or install it.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. Your regular SIM stays in the phone, and WhatsApp keeps your number while it uses the eSIM's data.
Does it include a phone number or calls?
No. This is a data-only eSIM. Use WhatsApp, FaceTime or other apps for calls and messages.
What if I don't travel after all?
If the eSIM has not been installed, you can ask for a refund. See our Refund Policy for the details.
