Two phone numbers

rowanrkm — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 18:22:11 GMT

I've moved to the US and I'm currently using my UK phone number with a US roaming pass to allow me to use data whilst I'm here, so I can Facetime/iMessage/WhatsApp. However, I had an issue when I tried to open a bank account, I needed to provide a US phone number, which I didn't have. Is it possible for me to have two numbers for the same phone (one US and one UK)? Also, my phone is currently using a virtual sim card (Esim).

@rowanrkm Yes you can have two sims in one device and both work at the same time. One can be the eSim the other a physical.

EE is a UK operator and only issues UK mobile numbers. If you have a dual-SIM and unlocked phone, then it's your choice what SIM you use in the second slot.
