[@chisomagbara6780]

I have two phones and was wondering how dual sim would work. This was extremely helpful, thank you!

[@mustafahadi3613]

Thanks for your life story, this is what I was looking for

[@HoldenHaan]

Hahahaha

[@kenny_closes]

Awesome video! I’m using dual sim, on two different iPhones 🥴 but seriously because I use the numbers for different purposes, it has helped me build my business and given me options I didn’t have in the past. Good stuff!

[@maspalawethekumzeemhlongo3422]

How to set it

[@gelalakuna2173]

explaining the settings just saved my life!

[@stevebearing_72]

Have you noticed any issues with excessive battery use with two lines ?

[@jeradtech]

Battery life is still good. I’ve used dual lines for years now.

[@stevebearing_72]

Brilliant many thanks for reply and that info good vid , well explained. Many thanks

[@raphmeo205]

Great video. One question, how does dual SIM affect battery life?

[@PositiveDuality]

It’s not noticeable. I have had Tmobile and Verizon on my iPhone for a good year, and it’s been good.

[@ericapinheiro1087]

Omg thank you!! I want use just this 2 Verizon and T Mobile Lol

[@jonathanpeery4901]

It doesn’t

[@santiagoagudelo2595]

I don't know if someone else already commented this, but your apple ID lets you transfer your eSim from one iPhone to another without having to go anywhere, it can also let you switch it to an iPad with cellular connection.

[@latashafields1759]

Thank you for sharing, I have a business line and personal. This video helped me understand how it works and will save me from using two phones.

[@DSD]

Wow I didn't realize this was even a thing... I definitely have to check into this

[@chanel808life-mthi]

With iphone you can move esim from one iphone to another iphone aslong both iphone is on the same iCloud without having to get a new QR code

[@KeithWilson-hk8qf]

Hi, Do I need to have wifi calling on?

[@Friend111]

Useful, thank you for the clarity.

[@Drgamez716]

Hello how does dual sim work with Apple Watch can you only connect one plan for mobile data, but more importantly do you receive phone calls and text messages from both

[@williamfrench9973]

Great video. One very nit-picky thing is how often you say “utilize”. Did you know that “use” is way simpler language, and means the exact same thing? Consider utilizing “use” 😊

[@MrFilmed4u]

This Video was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the good explanation!! But do you know if iOS 15’s feature Focus can automatically mute one let’s say business line on weekends?

[@jonathanfail9827]

Any answer on this for iOS 16???

[@shrtkbm]

Thank you for this video, this explained this better than the other videos as in more depth and detail. Now it makes full sense. I got an eSIM for a pre-paid T-Moblie plan because of going out of range for Verizon quite often and with signal being spotty in certain areas. I did it mostly for data less for texting and calling on the pre-paid T-Moblie plan

[@stevebearing_72]

Giving it a try today

[@emilagustinvillona]

Why is the “Add Cellular Plan” clickable even if you already have two active lines? Does it mean you can have more than two lines?

[@wojtazopsx2268]

Can you duplicate Signal or Whatsapp for each sim card?

[@FFox316]

Does it separate your business and personal contacts in the phone book or give you a separate contact list?

[@simonfitzgerald8255]

Did you get an answer to this?

[@kelfeind]

Excellent video

[@2talljones34]

great video! Very thorough. I added a 2nd line and I love the idea of it. I want to have my iPhone ring and text a different ring tone/alert so I'll know the difference quickly. Is this possible?

[@ianwoowoo]

Great video - I am considering adding a second number to my work phone for personal use but wasn't sure how easy it would be to manage on a daily basis. It looks pretty easy 😃

[@uChakide]

I know, I know, the US market is not the same as the European market. But dual sim has been around since 2010 on android, and it is almost standard on Samsung flagship models outside the US. I wish Apple would just offer a second slot.

[@zakiadem7116]

Thank you man it was important topic

[@Unpopularopinion1960]

Thank you for explaining this in detail sir.

[@markb4434]

Jerad, did you do a video like this for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra?

[@Costinvlad]

does it have a big impact on battery life?! (having dual sim)

[@KevinLaffey-b5x]

Great stuff. Can I set up 2 separate voice mails on the dual sim?

[@jeradtech]

Yes because the voicemail is specific to the line.

[@olioswaldson362]

Great video! Do you have any experience with sim cards from different countries and using them with different Apple-IDs?

[@SandiaPeaks]

I wish I watched this first. I should’ve went with Fi for the second line. Great advice and insight.

[@brianpiscitelli3396]

Do you have a video explaining how to set up dual sim for Apple Watch. In a few weeks I’m getting a new phone and new watch and I will be setting up dual sim on the phone and watch

[@irajsakuei]

Great video, when incoming calls come can you put in a different ringtone to each line?

[@23youwatch]

Excellent video!

[@jamilsmith7490]

Was just offered to add a line I’m with AT&T and was wondering how it worked. And you nailed it thanks a lot I’m definitely gonna add the line now

[@colezy9]

What advantage would the Pixel 6, with Dual Sim Active, have over an iPhone?

[@ahmadaboutabl5141]

Thanks for the video Do you face this issue when for example your on a call on primary and at the same time someone calls you on the business that it keeps silence and it does not give him that you are busy or not appearing on waiting ? And how did you fix this?

[@TanuSingh-cy1te]

I’ve no Cellular Option what should I do? iPhone 12

[@katmartin7848]

I just converted to dual sim and I can’t get my secondary line, my business line to transfer over any contacts or apps or data. I added the phone number. I have a physical as well as an esim and it’s only showing content from my primary phone. I have no access to anything from the secondary line other than the ability to use the phone number. How do I access all my business texts and contacts and photos on the new dual sim phone?

[@shanehoward9756]

Could you do this so you can use one sim in another country

[@Jona]

Can someone PLEASE tell me if it's possible to turn off calls, but still use data on the eSIM?

[@amorylazlo9579]

17 minutes of my life I'll never get back to say exactly what Apple explains in two minutes!

[@stnbeth]

Will the walkie talkie function with dual SIM card or only one ?

[@Menstral]

Great video, very thorough

[@bramnobbe]

Hi, do you know if the switching between the SIM's before calling also works in the CarPlay phone app? Or only on the iPhone itself? Can't find it online...

[@Tochy809]

El mejor video que es entrados thanks The best video 💯 explained

[@anniebanck3123]

If someone calls my personal line, can I forward it to my business line? If so, how?

[@khalidmahmudbappy]

Can I update more than one e-sim in my iphone 11 and switch between those?

[@TaylorManorJH]

Great info, and I’m going to follow more of your posts! Today I activated the esim on my iPhone 13pro with TMobile “Network Pass,” to try out an alternative to AT&T (still primary number, associated with the physical SIM card). How do I get the most out of trial period and genuinely understand the performance of both, side by side?

[@isscsmusic4290]

how bout if you don’t have service in one line will it still work?

[@togetherplaytime]

Hello! I hope you can help me with one question… so I have my business line and my primary line. Since I included an eSIM, I dont have storage space.. I have an icloud plan of 2T and its not full, what can I do to check whats going on? Thanks in advance

[@DM-xf2iv]

Awesome video

[@byxiomdeleon7584]

Great video, if you are in a call on the Verizon line and someone call you on the google 5 line are you able to answer that incoming call ??

[@donnyvramkissoon]

Great video, my work phone carrier is Verizon and my personal phone carrier is Tmobile, can I use both numbers on my 12 pro max? Apologies in advance if I missed this answer in previous comments!

[@jeradtech]

Yes. I use Verizon and Google Fi (which uses TMobile towers) and can call, text, and use data from both lines.

[@ferniebookkeeping7653]

When the second number s turned off do imessages and texts come through when turned back on?

[@kaisalgawi791]

Excellent presentation. Can I have more than one line; such as UK, Dubai & Turkey. One to be proper sim & the others to be e sims? This is due frequent traveling. I have iPhone 12 Pro Max

[@jeradtech]

Yes it can have more than one line and they can be different countries. In the 12 Pro Max you just have to have one physical SIM and one ESIM.

[@brianknight4595]

Hi JERAD # 1 I will be purchasing a iPhone 16 pro max for the benefits of pro max 15 however 2 SIMS it appears that they well not be fitted by your self HOW WILL THAT WORK WITH IPONE 16 PRO MAX HOW MUCH WILL THE 2 TB POR MAX BE IN US $ #3 when will you start reviewing the ipone 16 cases Cheers BRIAN😮

[@Kenboy06]

Hey. So there’s no way to take a call on one line and receive a call on the other? I believe you answered that towards the beginning of the video. Just wanna make sure. I noticed that when I’m on a call on one line, the other one shows that theirs no service. Ex: If I’m on a personal call and receive a business call on my other line, how will I know?

[@traviswalker8765]

Thanks for the video! Super helpful! One question, do you know if dual sim can work with one sim from a US carrier and the second sim from an OUS carrier?

[@jeradtech]

Yes it can.

[@drissaudia1323]

I don’t think Apple has got this dual technology yet! Been using it & when you set the phone on 1 default like say business & you make a personal call, your person number doesn’t show up so say family or friend who don’t have your work number doesn’t know who is calling. 2nd issue, dual sim doesn’t allow me to pair the Busines line in my car! Which is hopeless because I need this line when I am driving. Is it because my business line is using the e-nano sim & personal on the hard sim?

[@joerose1271]

Great video….super helpful. I have had to carry a second phone for work for about 5 years. I tried to do this switch the other day and it didn’t work. I’m assuming I could convert my personal phone sim to esim and then physically place my sim for my work phone in the tray? When I did this it said it couldn’t activate my work sim. I’m using an unlocked iPhone 13 Pro Max

[@1800Dodger]

Thanks, answered all my questions…Awesome Video..

[@LovelyDXBpak]

Dear i am installed 2 physical sim cards in my iphone 12 pro max but its show only one sim how is possible to on 2nd sim enable or I should contact my carrier ?

[@barbarab202]

1) Can you see which phone number a call is coming to? 2) If you have a second e-sim for international travel, how can you be sure you don't get charged for roaming on your home sim?

[@hectorheredia311]

Barbara jut turn off your home Sim prior to landing to your destination

[@SuperPerfectMan]

Do you think they will EVER fix the focus mode for when you have dual sim so for instance you could have your personal number on workfocus but your work number available. Now then you have focus mode it effects both numbers which makes little sense ..

[@stephanm.4715]

Great video, not sure if this was covered but if i turn off voice and data on my primary sim and only use my secodary sim for voice and data will i still receive calls and texts to my phone?

[@theoriMatt]

Not sure if this has been flagged in the comments, but iPhone 13 is the first model supporting two eSIM's being active at the same time. For iPhone 12 and prior, in order to have two lines active simultaneously, you could only use one eSIM. The other line had to utilize a physical SIM card. I currently have two eSIMs active on my iPhone 12, but have to toggle the cellular accounts on/off when I switch between to the lines.

[@theoriMatt]

I see this may have come up already. Why is there no "search comments" feature on YT?!

[@-TM7]

I’m on ATT, must your phone be paid off to do this? Wanting to use 1 ATT line and 1 Verizon line

[@josephsantos2037]

Excellent 👏🏻 Thank you

[@DimarikCanada]

Thanks, very good explanation

[@johnlittle8267]

Nice video - very little information online about all the correct steps to set up a second line on eSim - I just did it with AT&T and after about 7 calls they were able to do it. First I got a prepaid plan online where the only option is they send you a sim card. Then I called them and they transferred the number/account to an esim. The problem is no one understood what I needed to do next. They sent some sort of notification to my phone using IMEI and EID, but just clicking on it did nothing. You need to go into settings and it will say "new phone plan ready to install" from the notification. Then that has the code as if you had the QR card for your esim and it installs, all without going to the store! The AT&T reps were friendly but none were confident of how it would work. Between all of them they knew except to tell me the last step, which I finally saw when I went to settings after calling and restarting.

[@roblascelles4842]

Hello, does 5G works if you are using dual sim?

[@jamescarlos8642]

Hi everyone How to turn off the SIM card in physical sim slot While I’m using one physical sim and one esim as dual sim function

[@TopGunDogTraining]

What about voicemaail for each line?

[@PicBro1]

What about dual physics Sim?

[@alex18057]

I wondering how to indemnify if a caller is calling to my personal or business number?

[@Rocell.romazanova]

I have an Iphone 13 & it does support dual sim: 1 actual sim and 1 e-sim. My question is, will it be fine to buy dual sim card tray to have two dual actual sims than 1 esim and 1 actual sim? Wouldn’t it affect or damage my new phone?

[@TheJohnny102510]

I just started using dual sim on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. They’re both from Verizon, one as my personal and one from work but every time I make or get a call from one line then the other line just has no service for the duration of the call. Does anyone else have that problem and a solution on how to fix that?

[@Taxguy99]

Great video! Best explanation I’ve seen. I have a Google Voice number I need to port to an esim. Thanks for this great detail.

[@jessiemeguinis9866]

awesome!!! what if I don't have QR code for the my work phone? is there another way?

[@_D_avid]

Thank you

[@benicia21]

will dual sim work for traveling to a foreign country, where I need to keep my USA phone number (AT&T sim card) but also get a local number with a local Vietnamese sim card?

[@jeradtech]

Yes, if you have an iPhone that has a physical sim. You will want to move your US number to eSim so you can use the physical sim slot for the international SIM card. The new iPhone 14 has dual eSim.

[@timk4861]

Thanks for this video. I will start my own business soon and these informations come at the perfect time for me.

[@ronnieam33]

WOW this is what I have been looking for Great info!!!!

[@beingintrinsic]

love this explanation! Will Dual SIM work for Canadian Carriers and for older models of iPhones like 6s?

[@GarbanzoBeansFan]

iphones released 2018 and later support dual sim

[@golferal]

Great video! I have been wanting to combine my personal and work lines on to one phone and have an S22 Ultra that supports dual sim/ e-sim however I'm not sure how smooth the work flow is on Android. Any chance for an Android video?

[@SaithusX]

Did you ever find a video? I've been looking and I own a S22 ultra

[@golferal]

@@SaithusX No, but I did test dual SIM on my Z Fold 4 and it works very similar to the iPhone. I will most likely be doing after I get more comfortable with it. 👍

[@SaithusX]

@@golferal Thanks appreciate it!

[@igorvinogradskiy787]

Thank you for the great video. Everything is clear and easy to digest!

[@ernestosanchez5405]

Sometimes I have gotten iMessage with the person's Apple ID email when its from iPhone to iPhone. so my question is will that still happen? and when I send a message from my "business line" will it send it from the personal Apple ID or can I connect a second Apple ID to the business line. (I know, weird question)

[@CarolineBrown-r4h]

Hi there! activating my dual sim now. is there any way I can have 2 different ring tones to separate the calls?

[@ahmadniazey5058]

Can i use a dual sim in iPhone 14 Pro Max in Canada 🇨🇦?

[@njs454]

Question - I did what you did, my main line is Verizon on the esim, my business is googlefi using a card sim. everything looks to me working expect the imessage and facetime, it just keeps on saying "veriying" nextr to it, when I tap the line to add, it keeps on locking up. Is this something that work itself out with time or am i doing something wrong? I have reset it twice, it still just says verifying. Thanks fo the video and help.

[@bommaritohawaii]

We need to have two separate iMessage accounts on the same phone

[@zuluzuba]

Great video. Thank you. I also have a personal phone and a business phone and would love to only carry one phone. However, my phones have separate apple id's which means I have photo's, text messages, and contacts from BOTH phones that I don't want to lose. Both phones are iphones and both have Verizon as the carrier. Anyway to combine photo's, contacts and text messages from both phones onto one phone? How does it work when each phone has it's own apple id? Thanks for any help here!

[@jeradtech]

That’s a great video idea. It’s actually as simple as signing out of Apple ID on the device that has the data you want to merge and then signing into the account you want to make primary. The phone will ask if you want to merge data from your phone into the newly signed into account.

[@zuluzuba]

@@jeradtech oh, please do a video on that process. At what point to I sign out and do the merge? Is it before I get my phone set up with the primary number (and it's apple id?). If you could tell me the steps of what to do, that would be great. I haven't bought a new phone yet (I'll get the Pro Max 13 with the esim capability). I want to be sure all my questions are answered before taking the plunge. I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to merge two distinct phones with separate apple id's. Thanks so much for your reply. Can't wait to hear the process and steps of order.

[@lynhtynhxem8553]

i got the problem when trying to add the esim into my iphone 11 promax. the notification is "cellular plans from this carrier cannot be added. your device can only use plans from a different carrier". However, the carrier lock is no sim restriction. how to solve this issue?

[@JCunninghamPA]

Does it keep your contacts separate? What about text messages and call logs? Can you opt to see only personal texts and call logs and then switch to see business or are they all commingled?

[@jeradtech]

It doesn’t. What you could do, is create contact groups so you could toggle back-and-forth between groups. Messages will all be in the same list but will identify which line they came from.

[@socalsgrl]

How do you shut down the second line on the weekends?

[@lukemiller7376]

Will T-Mobile work with dual lines too
