How does dual SIM work?

The dual SIM feature allows you to use two SIM/eSIM cards at the same time.

Here’s how you can use dual SIM:

  • Two physical SIM cards
  • A physical SIM card and an eSIM
  • Two eSIMs (only on iPhone 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max and later versions)

Advantages of dual SIM

  • You can use the data from a new eSIM while you’re travelling without losing your SIM/eSIM card and your original number.
  • You can have several phone numbers on the same device (which is ideal if you need numbers from two different countries).
  • It allows you to separate your business and personal life by using two different numbers.
