Can I use the eSIM and not the physical SIM as I would like to add a different provider to make it as dual sims usage?

Hello,

Please can you advise if I can take out the physical sim and replace it with another provider sim as I have now got a esim with ID network? Main reason, I would like to have my phone as dual sims usage? I currently have Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 phone, it shows that it’s possible to have a dual sims use, ie. 1*physical and 1*esim.

 

Thank You!

In addition to the above, does the esim uses the same mobile number as if using the physical sim? Thanks

Hey there ​@Forester168, as long as your phone supportes dual SIM, you can use an iD Mobile eSIM, and another networks physical SIM inside the same device, and have both active, yes.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
