Cheaper than a local sim
I bought my World eSIM before travel and my friend decided to get a local sim on arrival. Not only was it double the price, but we had to que up for 1 hour to get the sim card and install it in his phone. Whats App calling is also blocked on local sims in Saudi Arabia but worked perfectly with WorldSIM. Would highly recommend it!

I could keep my Whats App account active
I needed to keep my existing Service active for work, but without incurring big data roaming charges. With World eSIM, I could switch my data access to their eSIM but still keep my existing number active to receive and send calls and SMS. My WhatsApp service also continued to work as normal.
