Did you know that the newest iPhones support more than 1 line?
That means you can have more than 1 number on the same phone.
If you’re wondering why you would need two lines we tell you some of the benefits of it.
Well, you can have your personal number and the business number, for example on the same phone, or if you have numbers from different countries for example, you can keep the number from your country and the one you are using abroad without changing anything.
Actually, one thing will change. By adding a local number you can avoid international roaming charges.
Also, it’s way easier to carry one phone with you, than two, right?
So, let’s go down to business.
How does the dual SIM on the iPhone work?
You have a traditional physical nano SIM Card and the eSIM, a digital SIM Card.
The eSIM can accommodate multiple phone numbers that you can manage right from your phone settings.
The physical SIM Card needs to be removed and swapped.
But, you still are just able to have one physical SIM on Apple’s device.
The best thing is that both SIMs work at the same time. Calls coming to either line will ring your phone, you will be able to easily make calls and send texts from both numbers without resetting or swapping SIMs.
Although the dual SIM iPhone manages two phone lines simultaneously, when it comes to data, you will have to use each data at one time.
If you need to use two different carriers, you won’t have any problems if your iPhone is unlocked.
