Can I Use My eSIM as Dual SIM?

Yes, you can use two eSIMs at the same time with a dual-SIM feature, as long as your phone is compatible with this technology. Having a dual-SIM option on your device doesn't guarantee compatibility with a Holafly eSIM, as some phones only support physical SIMs. Check our eSIM-compatible devices list before purchasing.

How does Holafly work with dual SIM?

Dual-SIM functionality allows you to manage two separate mobile plans on a single device. You can name your primary line "Personal" and the Holafly eSIM for your destination. Use your physical SIM for calls and texts, and the Holafly eSIM for unlimited data.

Advantages of having Dual SIM

Travel Hassle-Free: Use a dual eSIM to stay connected abroad, keeping your original number and avoiding roaming charges.
Manage Multiple Lines: Handle different lines from a single device for various regions.
Separate Work and Personal Communications: Use the eSIM as a Dual SIM to distinguish between your professional and personal communications.

How to Label Your Plans on iPhones (iOS)

Go to Settings > Cellular or Mobile Data > Select the plan you want to label > "Cellular Plan Label" to assign a name.

How to Label Your Plans on Android devices

Go to Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Select the SIM you want to label > Press “Edit name and icon” to assign a name.

To keep in mind

On iPhone, only one SIM can receive calls and messages, while the other can only use a cellular data network.
You can adjust your voice and cellular data lines according to your preferences.
To use two different carriers, your device must be unlocked.
