Old phone remove old SiM Card.

As long as you have wifi, I think the old Whatsapp account will still work even no sim card. You can try.

You put in new sim card basically is to provide your phone internet connection, the WhatsApp with old account in your phone will still work.

If you removed the new sim and replace with old SiM, same same the WhatsApp account will still work as per normal.

As long as you don't creat a new account in your phone when the new sim card is in it. Or activate your old account on another phone.

Yes whatsapp still on even you removed old sim card and put in new sim card.

Whatsapp cannot be use to log in or log out anytime. Its not like wechat where you can log in and log out with multiple account by just using that 1 wechat app.
Whatsapp function like 1 app for 1 whatsapp account only.
Whatsapp only can activate or deactivate account.
If you want to register new whatsapp account for your new number, you have to deactivated your 1st whatsapp account on old number 1st, then only can register new account for your new sim card.

Your old whatsapp chat history will gone if you dont do chat backup. Can find backup option on setting. If got backup then no need worry about chat gone or not. So please do chwt backup 1st before proceed to deactivated.
Edit: Worried old whatsapp chat histort gone? Unless you register back whatsapp account for old number on same fon then ok, because chat history all saved on that fon, inside google cloud under your email address that you used to registered that fon.

BTW, check your semakpon if can duplicate 2nd whatsapp app. Most semakpon now a day have and support dual apps, where you can have 2 whatsapp account on 1 fon.

And BTW, you still can register new whatsapp account even without the sim card in the same fon, as long as you got 2nd fon to turn on your 2nd sim card, whatsapp will send activation code to your new sim card on other fon, no problem. Then you just enter that activation code received on 2nd fon into whatsapp app on the 1st fon.

So wanna have 2 whatsapp account on same fon? Check your semakfon got support dual whatsapp app or not.

As of now, you can only use one whatsapp account at a time. It doesn't matter whether you have the SIM inserted or not, you only need the SIM during first setup of the whatsapp. After that, it will work without the SIM. Even if you put different number SIM, your whatsapp will continue work for your 1st number ONLY. To use the 2nd number in your whatsapp, you have to delete/clear whatsapp and setup again.

Thanks for the reply. I get it now. I cant use the 2nd sim and receive text or calls to the 2nd sim’s number. But i can receive incoming for the 1st sims number. The 2nd sim just provides data. Thank you man.

I am exactly using WhatsApp in an android phone, without the sim card in that phone. The sim is in an old Nokia phone. The android phone is connected to wifi at home, the phone stays at home. WhatsApp is working just fine.

I don't like those 3rd party apps to run dual accounts. Usually have issues.. battery drain, or lag, slow notification.

I'm on Android, some phone OS like MIUI have dual app feature built-in. You can use 2 WhatsApp without issues, runs smooth.

Dont use 3rd party app like that one. Just use the dual apps that pre-installed in your fon for whatsapp. Provided your fon got that dual app option. If no then cant help.

avoid using apps from 3rd party.

since you're on IOS, register second number on WA business app to use two numbers.

newer android phones have feature to install two, however the second one is on secret mode or something like that.
