    Carrier Dual Sim: Picking data line -- how does it work?

    I can't figure out how picking the data line for Dual Sim works. I have one line with unlimited calling, text, & data. I want to get a second business line I can call & send iMessages with, but want to avoid buying data if I can use the data from my FIRST line to send iMessages. Line A...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Dual eSIM call/data setup

    Hi Everyone! I am using the 15 Pro Max and setup two eSIMs. Both are active and working perfectly. I can get calls/data is ON. However, I noticed that when I take a call from SIM 1, the line is only active for the SIM 1. No data from SIM 2 (I use SIM 2 for data mostly) and even this drops. Not...

    Automatically turn work SIM off and on at set times

    I have two SIM's (phone numbers) in my iPhone, one for work and one for personal. For years I've been wanting a way to automatically have my work line turn off at 5:30pm each weekday, then turn back on at 9:00am. This is to prevent clients from calling / messaging me after hours, which they do...

    Other iPhone 15 Pro : Will I get E-Sim in Hong Kong?

    My current iPhone 13 Pro bought in Europe has 1 physical SIM slot + eSIMs. I was able to actually run two carriers at the same time this way. I plan to buy the iPhone 15 Pro in Hong Kong, but looking at the Apple HK website - it seems that I will only get a dual physical SIMs slot, as there are...

    Other Will there be models of the next iPhone that have a SIM card slot AND 5G mmWave?

    The current iPhone models sold everywhere but the United States that have a SIM card slot do not have 5G mmWave. The only models to have 5G mmWave are the US SIM-less versions. The United States is not the only country to have 5G mmWave. These systems also exist in Australia, Croatia, Japan...

    Carrier Disabling international roaming for Greece (AT&T)

    I will be heading to Greece soon and would like to use a plan from there. I have read online that disabling all international service from AT&T’s end should make it so the phone does not get cellular service at all through the AT&T plan. This should allow the AT&T plan to send and receive calls...

    Carrier How to use a number for iMessage while the line is unused?

    Hey all, I’m traveling in NZ for a month and have two SIMs. One physical NZ and one US eSIM. The idea is to prevent my US SIM from ever being used except in emergencies, thereby avoiding the $10 international fee that AT&T charges. This is why I bought a local NZ sim. The problem is, if I...

    iMessage problem

    Have had this problem ever since I separated my dual sims to their own phones. Used to have VZW and ATT in one phone when the dual sim feature launched and then when I separated them when I go to send an iMessage using effects I get this. Apple has escalated to engineering but of course no one...

    Focus and Dual SIM

    Can you disable either line using a Focus? E.g, disable my work line during a personal/weekend/holiday Focus? Or does Shortcuts finally allow you to do so in iOS 15? This wwould make more sense then disable if individual contacts IMHO.

    Is it possible to use the eSIM only on the Apple Watch?

    Does someone know if it’s possible to use dual-SIM on my iPhone (11 pro) in such a way that the phone will use the primary SIM and the watch will use the second, eSIM, without the iPhone being connected to two networks all the time? Context: my cellular plan is given to me by my employer. They...

    Dual Sim Changes/Features?

    Has anyone seen any changes announced for those running Dual SIMS? Only one I saw during the keynote was iMessage support on both lines (a welcome addition), but disappointing that nothing else has been revealed. It has to be said that the current implementation isn't exactly the best.

    iPhone XS Max China gets better iPhones than the rest of us?

    Kinda ridiculous. A true dual SIM phone would be really useful for us world travelers. Too bad only China gets it. E-SIM is like a throwback--being tied to a carrier. Practically useless.

    Carrier PAYG eSIM in America

    hopefully our American cousins can help with this one. Planning to visit the states in October with my iPhone XS and while my UK plan let's me use my phone and data it treats it as if I'm in the UK. So to call an American number is still really expensive. Do any us carriers offer a pay as...
