If you need two different numbers on a single device for business reasons, it can be useful to have two eSIMs working at the same time. However, there are only a handful of devices that can support this feature. Here’s what you can do to use both eSIMs at once:
- Check your device manual or specs to see if it can support dual eSIM devices. If it does, you can enable them.
- Activate both eSIMs by speaking to any carrier involved - you may need a special code or other verification to do so.
- Enable the use of a dual eSIM from the menu. Doing this will depend on what type of device you have.
- Make sure that you assign one SIM as the primary card that is used for calls and texts, and the other for your data plan.
- Check that both eSIMs are active and can be used in conjunction with each other.
It’s probably worth noting that two eSIMs at once will affect your battery life, but that is easy to manage with prior planning.
