Hello there!

I'm about to get an iPhone 15 Pro, but I don't have the sim attached to the current WhatsApp number I have.

Will I be able to keep the same number? If so, how?

Thanks for your time and kindness

No, you need the number to activate it.
Maybe in the settings you can set an E-Mail Address as alrernative verification. This should work but I did not test it. Other than that you have no chance when you don`t have the SIM anywhere near you.

You can if you transfer from a previous iPhone during the migration process. If not, you'll need access to the SIM due to the confirmation text required.
