international roaming/whatsapp

Traveling to Europe next month. I understand that Visible will not work while I'm there. I know I can get an International SIM card, but if I have Whatsapp on my phone, will I be able to call, text, etc?

WhatsApp is a third party app and just needs internet. So I would recommend you activate the WhatsApp while you are in US (so that WhatsApp verifies your number through SMS)  and then later while you are in Europe you can use the local European sim with internet to contact people on WhatsApp.

Just another visible user, willing to help others.
Please mark my answer as solution if it helped you.

Iโ€™m trying to create a WhatsApp account and Iโ€™m on my free trial number with visible, texts and calls work for me but when WhatsApp asks to verify with sms code, I get an error saying unable to send an sms to this number. Im not sure why itโ€™s saying that?
