Hello @--77.
Thanks for coming here.
The charges for using another network SIM will come from that network.
I'd recommend checking roaming rates before travelling.

WhatsApp is an internet-app, so it just uses whatever internet connection your phone has active.

cheers thanks . One more quick question. If i purchase an data e-sim from a third party do you know how i make that the primary data source on an iPhone , so that when i make a whatsapp call it uses the e-sim and doesn't try to access any EE service

Hi there @--77
Please see the Using Dual SIM with an eSIM – Apple Support (UK) page for full details on how to set up a default number.

Anything you do on that eSIM will not incur EE charges, but it might from the network you got it from. You need to check their tariff.
