MIFI SIM/ESIM QUERY

[R1CHEE]

Hi, joined the forum to see if I can get a pre-holiday question answered…

I have an IPhone 15 with ESIM functionality. I currently have a physical SIM inserted. I have an EE mobile WIFI device however which id like to use as a router for devices to connect to in the holiday apartment. To my mind this is a better alternative to using my IPhone as the hotspot. 
Can I therefore put my contract SIM into the MIFI for family members to connect to AND use my phone as normal gives it’s ESIM functionality?

@R1CHEE  if you put your Sim card into a different device, then your phone has no network connection. You can’t put the information from your Sim card onto the eSIM and then use the physical sim in a different device because you can only have one Sim card whether that be a physical Sim or eSIM with your phone number on it..     the eSim is to replace the use of a physical sim so you can have 2 or more phone numbers on your device.     

 So basically no that’s not possible.
