Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to use 2 eSIMs at the same time, without having any physical SIM inserted?
Currently I can only get it to use SIM2 for my eSIMs.
Kind regards
From what i am seeing, yes, you can setup 2 eSIMs on the device, but since there are two IMEIs, the SIM tray cannot be used then
No, MEP doesn't appear to be supported.
We can register any number of e-SIMs. However, only one can be active at a time.

In addition, you can use a SIM card together with eSIM and both are active at a time. turned out to work well for me.
You can use:
Phisical sim + esim
Phisical sim + Phisical sim

Hi
Is there any way to have 2 SIM cards in our UNI´s?
Gracias
been wondering of that too. just bought a second hand uni to tried out
I had one for my universal last year and it worked well.
It involved trimming your sim card a bit but it comes with a template to use.
I got mine form ebay and think it was called something like Ghost Dual SIM?
I see this:

I think that it is serious product (you can ask the company for special test)
I have this and I use up to 5 different numbers with no problem:

No, I can't have connected same time 2 phone numbers!
But alternative (having one number each time), I have the opportunity to have up to 16 different numbers (and networks), in the same SIM card.
I change from one to another number, through STK service, menu.

Thanks a lot. What products did you purchase? I understood in the web that you have to move some data using your pc from original sims into the sim they provide you.
I don't want to use a cut sim...

I bought the 'Supersim 16in1 SIM', which comes with a blank sim card that can hold up to 16 numbers, it has the programmer which can read the original SIM and then copy to the supersim card, and the nessesary software.

do you need to reset your device in order to activate other line?
does it support HSDPA?

No need to reset.
Just activate STK menu and choose desired line.
It supports UMTS (I don't know if it is the same or not as HSDPA)
Guys...i have checke Duosim and im impressed...
....but what if one of the local networks is 3G and the other is not?
please guys....any idea...
For that you have to have Duo-X2 (Cut sim) to use. This supports both GSM and 3G. I have ordered which is on its way. The supplier mentioned that both SIMs will be active with autoswitch function.
auto lock
i ve got a prob with ghost dual sim,
after using it, n still being inside my uni, sometime the device is auto locked with a password which i never have set.
only way to pass beyond this password is to reset the device.
any idea how to get rid of this ****.
Hello,
I attempted to activate esim on t-mobile postpaid that did not go anywhere even though others have activated esim on pixel 3 before the t-mobile ban on postpaid accounts. T-mobile has stopped enabling esim on postpaid accounts for unknown reasons. It only enables esim on certain prepaid accounts and only on iphones.
Any other experiences with t-mobile or other carriers?
Confirmed working on Fi.

T-Mobile requires you use there app for esim. The iPhone is the only one that supports it at the Momment
I have T-Mobile and I was able to get the eSim activated on the 3a Xl . All I did was tell them I wanted to do a sim card swap and I provided the EID number. Took them a few minutes and they were done. BTW this was on a Postpaid account.

Phone call or chat? I had no luck with chat.
Did you use the full esim number - that is a very long number. Trying to duplicate your effort.
Thanks

called t-mobile and gave them the full esim number. Then uses this guide. Works great!
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/a4507u/esim_works_heres_how_to_activate/
I got it activated on my Pixel 3a XL through chat. They asked me why I was changing sims, and I just told them I wanted to try out esim. They said ok and did the swap. I'm postpaid.
It's easier through chat because of the long EID number.

I guess I've had really bad luck because I have not been able to get esim activated with chat twice. That's the way it goes we'll try again. It is hit and miss.
Thanks guys for the information. Did another chat this morning asking for sim activation. Did not mention esim. Completed in about 2 minutes did not even have to reboot my phone. Nice. I can use the physical sim slot for something else now.

Generally curious as I am new to the Android side of things. What can you use the SIM slot for if you do esim? What is the benefit outside of saying you don't need a physical SIM?

I use an ATT MVNO Sim when I am not in a t-mobile area which is rare. I don't need two phones any more. One can do the same for the latest iPhone.
Actually there are other phones that have two sims like one plus, but two sim phones are rare in the USA but common in other countries. It has to do with the carriers. It would really nice if this feature discussed on the link below is included in android Q.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...s-half-baked-dual-sim-support-to-the-pixel-3/
So two sims phones hopefully will become the norm in the USA since iPhone has this option and everyone copies Apple. Anyway I could be wrong but I think the Pixel had the esim before the iPhone.

I'm self employed and having dual sim is huge for me, no more having to carry two phone is big. This implementation sucks compared to real dual sim where you can have both active but it's still ahead of packing two phones around.

So at the moment, does your Pixel have DSDS capability? And if not (or before you enabled that functionality), are you at least able to take advantage of the physical sim slot by selecting it under network settings as the preferred option when you want to use the ATT network rather than the esim?
I had been using OnePlus phones with their dual SIM functionality for a long time by always keeping a T-Mobile SIM in one while using my China Mobile SIM in the other during my frequent trips into China. This enables me to keep a local number and avoid the internet censorship that is increasingly prevalent is most areas of the country.

Also. Currently using dual SIM in China. You will need to do the following to make network work reliable with all apps. This is a problem with pixel phones.

Thanks for replying. However, I didn't really get an answer to what I was looking for. I had also previously read the article in Android Police and I know what DSDS is. My previous OnePlus operated as such. The article suggests that DSDS is no longer an option unless you elected it in an earlier beta release. HOWEVER, I only want to know whether you are able to choose one or the other between your eSIM and your physical SIM slot? You will not get both signals at the same time. I understand that. But I'm just interested to see if I can elect via Settings to choose either the eSIM or a separate SIM card and use that one only.
With respect to the contents of the evil42.com article, I fortunately don't have those problems. Thanks for your help.

I have the T-Mobile 8T and I bought a cheap little dual sim tray for the 8t and was wondering if the tmobile 8T will still do dual sim with that tray?
It's in the stock tmo settings app for dual sim so I'm hoping it works
Do you have 2 imei numbers?

I shoved my old 7T's dual sim holder in to my Tmo 8T with my two SIM cards (if you have Tmo, get your FREE LINE during the holiday promo...).
The sim holder didn't fit all the way in but the first sim card did register and it worked fine. The phone did not report seeing the second sim. I'm wondering if that's a function of the Tmo ROM. Looking in the sim card hole you can see there are top and bottom pins... I have to wonder if flashing to the global firmware would activate the second sim....

The weird thing in the stock tmo rom it has settings for sim2 and sim1 so I would assume it would work and yep that's why I'm asking this I got the free line lol
Having two Sims on the same network won't help you very much for performance, but it's great if you need two numbers!

Not only that, you could potentially use one SIM for data only ($20+/mo) and a second SIM for voice ($3/mo for Prepaid), instead of spending $60+ monthly. A different calculation on multi-line accounts though...
Unfortunately, I can confirm that, at least on the latest T-Mobile build (11.0.4.6.KB09CB), dual SIM does NOT seem to work.
I've tried it with the OEM dual SIM tray for the OnePlus 8T, which fits perfectly in the T-Mobile "OnePlus 8T+ 5G." The second SIM (SIM2 slot of the tray) is never detected and no options for it appear despite both SIMs working individually when placed in the SIM1 slot of the tray.

Fortunately, people have already confirmed that the Global ROM conversion does enable dual SIM. See the Global/EU conversion thread for more.

Damn oh well,I'll keep the tray and my free line sim stuck in the 8t and wait for twrp then I'll switch to global firmware and try dual sim. I really just want twrp for 8t on a11

Thanks for confirming what we suspected. I think anyone seriously interested in dual SIM should be on global anyways.
I bet that eventually a few smart devs will dig into the T-Mobile rom and find a way to patch dual sim support back in
This maybe a dumb question but here goes, I dont have an esim to test myself.
My phone supports 2 physical sims and esim too, but does that mean I can actually run 3 sims? It has 2 emai numbers.
No. That's not how that works. 2 activate at any given time.

Can i have two esim in pixel 7 pro?
Any disadvantage in having esim
Yes you can have two eSIM active together within same time.
disadvantage would be if you need to move the sim to other phone. As for the rest, i'd say, eSIM is better than SIM

You actually cannot have two eSIMs active at the same time. Only a few of us ever had that capability and we all appear to have had it removed at some point. Now it's a matter of waiting for Google to add the feature but I'm not holding my breath.

Thank you so much
I haven't had the best experience so far with my two Sims on my Pixel 7 Pro. Even though I have assigned certain contacts with designated calling SIMs, often times the call is still made with wrong SIM. This is annoying because this ends up giving those contacts my personal number instead of my work number. Both sims are with Verizon, so ideally both should have good service at the same time or bad service at the same time. It would make sense if one sim was with AT&T for example and had no cell service, so the phone would understandably fails over to the other sim to make the call - but I don't see that being the case here.
