Can I use both an eSIM and a physical SIM with the same number?

Updated over a week ago

No, you cannot use both an eSIM and a physical SIM with the same phone number simultaneously. While both some devices support dual SIM functionality, they require different phone numbers for optimal operation.

Android devices support dual SIM functionality where you can have both an eSIM and physical SIM active simultaneously, though typically with different numbers. Similarly, Apple devices support Dual SIM with eSIM + physical SIM, but they typically need different phone numbers for optimal functionality.

Each SIM (whether physical or eSIM) is designed to operate independently with its own unique identifier and phone number. Having the same number on both SIMs would create conflicts in the network.
