Can I use an eSIM and a regular SIM card at the same time? 

Many modern smartphones support the use of both an eSIM and a physical SIM card simultaneously. This feature allows you to have two active cellular connections on your device, you can download an eSIM plan from Red Bull MOBILE and connect to a local network when you travel, without removing your physical SIM card. You can maintain two separate lines – one for work and one for home. Using an eSIM and SIM together is an easy and convenient way to stay connected wherever you are.

To set up an eSIM and a physical SIM card on your iPhone, you typically need to follow these steps:

  1. Activate the eSIM: Contact your mobile carrier or use the carrier’s app, such as Red Bull MOBILE, to activate the eSIM on your iPhone. They will provide you with the necessary details to set it up.
  1. Insert the physical SIM: If you already have a physical SIM card and it’s not inserted yet, insert it into the SIM card slot of your phone.
  1. Configure Dual SIM: Once the eSIM and physical SIM card are active and inserted, go to your phone’s settings. Look for the “Cellular” or “Mobile Data” section, and you should see an option for “Cellular Plans” or “Dual SIM.” Follow the prompts on your screen to configure how you want to use both SIMs, such as designating which one should be used for calls, data, or messages.
  1. Manage Dual SIM: You can manage your dual SIM settings, switch between your SIM and eSIM, and set preferences for data usage and call handling in the same “Cellular Plans” or “Dual SIM” settings menu.

Keep in mind not all phones support dual SIM functionality, so make sure to check if your specific phone model is compatible with eSIM and dual SIM before attempting to set it up.
