Keeping in touch while balancing work and personal life has never been easier any before. If you’re using an iPhone 13 or newer, you can seamlessly manage two eSIMs at once. However, while Android devices can store multiple eSIM profiles, only one can be active for data at a time. This flexibility makes it easier to manage calls, data, and even roaming, depending on your needs.
Benefits of Having Multiple eSIMs Activated
Using multiple eSIMs can significantly enhance your mobile experience. Here’s how:
- Effortless Switching: On iPhones that support dual eSIM, you can easily toggle between profiles for flexible connectivity without swapping physical SIM cards.
- Dual Connectivity: Keep your personal and work lines separate by using one eSIM for calls and another for data, like combining your personal eSIM with a JetSIMGo eSIM for unlimited data.
- Stay Connected While Traveling: Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, using multiple eSIMs means you can stay connected with a local data plan while maintaining access to your primary number.
To Keep in Mind
Before diving into the setup process, be sure to check a few things:
- Check Compatibility: Confirm that your device supports multiple eSIMs (iPhone 13 or newer models support dual eSIM).
- Carrier Limitations: Your device must be unlocked to use eSIMs from different carriers simultaneously.
- Data Switching: Disable the “Allow Cellular Data Switching” option to avoid unexpected mobile data switching, ensuring one eSIM is used for calls and the other for data.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you want to use your JetSIMGo eSIM for data and a personal eSIM for calls, follow these simple steps for both iPhone and Android devices:
How to Set Up Dual eSIM on iPhone

- Finally, toggle off the “Cellular Data Switching” option to prevent automatic switching between the eSIMs.
How to Set Up eSIM on Android
While Android doesn’t support using two eSIMs simultaneously, you can combine a physical SIM with an eSIM for calls and data:
- Open Settings > Connections > SIM Manager.
- Ensure both your physical SIM and JetSIMGo eSIM are active.
- Under Calls, select your physical SIM for calls and texts.
- Go to Mobile Data, and select your JetSIMGo eSIM for data.
- Disable Data Switching to ensure your device uses your physical SIM for calls and your JetSIMGo eSIM for data.
These simple steps will help you use your eSIM for data and your personal line for calls, making your mobile experience easier and more convenient.
