    What about esim? could i use esim on one device, and physical SIM in another?

    No. You can only have 1 number attached to a physical SIM or an eSIM at anyone time.

    Hi ​@Oliver Jeynes 

     

    At the moment, it isn’t possible to have two SIMs linked to the same account. You could either take out a separate plan for the second SIM, or, if it’s more convenient, use the hotspot feature on one device to share data with another.

    ok thanks - not ideal though as it assumes that im the only person using the device and my phone is in range. I dont want to pay for a second sim. will have to look into other operators that allow multiple sims. thanks

    You’ll need to choose from EE Vodafone THREE or O2 as those are the only networks offering such plans.
