How good is the network coverage of this United Kingdom and Europe Three travel prepaid SIM card?

No you cannot. We recommend using a new card as it is much cheaper than topping up.

You certainly can. Using Whatsapp to call saves you money.

(Only for your reference. Different users will have different usage pattern)
My phone is region locked and can only accept South East Asia SIM cards. Can I still use this card in the USA?
The new Samsung phone models have a sticker showing “South East Asia SIM Cards only” in the packaging. The message simply means you need to use a South East Asia SIM card to activate the phone. After you made calls of at least 5 minutes with the phone, your phone will then be able to use any SIM cards worldwide.
