Frequently Asked Questions by eSIM Users

Q: Can I use a physical SIM and eSIM together?

A: Yes, on dual SIM devices, you can use both a physical SIM and an eSIM simultaneously. You can configure which SIM to use for cellular data and set the default voice line in your device settings.

Q: Should I switch on “Data Roaming” when using eSIM?

A: Yes, enable data roaming for your eSIM to ensure connectivity. Make sure to turn off roaming for your home SIM to avoid high charges. Go to Settings > Cellular > Data Roaming to manage these settings.

Q: Can I use more than one eSIM provider when traveling abroad?

A: Yes, most devices can store multiple eSIM profiles. For example:

  • iPhones: Store up to 10 eSIM profiles.

  • Androids: Store 5-7 eSIM profiles (varies by model).

However, only one eSIM can be active at a time. To avoid confusion, label your eSIM profiles clearly.
