Can I receive phone calls on my primary number with eSIM?

You are still able to receive and make phone calls from your primary number if your device allows you to have a SIM card and an eSIM activated at the same time.

With iPhones, particular models have the Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology that allows you to remain connected with both your physical SIM and eSIM simultaneously. 

However, the number of eSIM you can have active on your device will depend on the device model. With iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini, you can use Dual SIM with either two eSIM or a nano-SIM and an eSIM.

iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR feature Dual SIM with a nano-SIM and an eSIM, but you can only have one eSIM active at a time.

Please also keep in mind that data roaming charges may apply to the calls made from your SIM card depending on your service provider. 

If your eSIM supports data-only, you can still use another line for voice and SMS.

In order to use your primary line for voice and text while you enjoy your eSIM for data, you need to enable the primary line and set it up as your Default Voice line.

Data roaming may also need to be enabled depending on the requirement of your SIM service provider. This may incur roaming charges, so we highly recommend consulting your service provider to learn about the charges before proceeding.
