Other Best way to handle imessage when traveling and using a different sim?

[EDH667]

Another thought given this is an old thread - I wonder if switching to use an eSIM for my primary line, that when I travel I can use a local sim for data / calling and my primary number will still be registered with iMessage via the eSIM?

Yes, this will work while traveling. I did the same thing while traveling in Europe this year but used the eSIM with KnowRoaming for my Data and my primary SIM card was still used for my phone calls and texts. Everything worked fine.

Ohh, that’s interestin, didn’t even think about using the eSIM for roaming and staying with a physical SIM for the primary line.
