Can I use two eSIMs at the same time?

Yes, you can use two eSIMs at the same time, if your device supports dual eSIM functionality, like the iPhone 13 and newer. On the other hand, most Android phones that support eSIM can store multiple profiles, but usually only allow one to be active at a time. Just remember that capabilities can vary depending on the specific model.

To keep in mind

• Confirm how many eSIMs  your device can support before setting up.
• Remember that your carrier (not Free Roaming) may charge extra for calls or texts (SMS) on your personal line while abroad. It’s a good idea to check with them ahead of time to avoid any surprises!
• Turn off ‘Allow Cellular Data Switching’ to activate two eSIMs, one for calls, one for data.
• Only one eSIM can handle mobile data at a time.
• Your device must be unlocked to use eSIMs from different carriers simultaneously.
