Esim and physical sim. Possible achieve this?

JayJay

I will be travelling to South Korea. I already have installed a physical simcard and dataplan with my main number.
I have an e-sim which I enable from time to time (US number/dataplan) which is work related.

I now want to purchase an E-sim for South korea with dataplan only to be enabled the whole time during my stay there.
While I am in South korea I will disable dataplan for my main simcard but I still want to be able to receive phonecalls.

Is this possible to achieve using GrapheneOS ? To have 2 e-sim installed same time as physical sim is.
And switch dataplans per simcard?

Good day JayJay 🙏. I just wanted to clarify to what previous posters said if I may. You can have multiple eSIM cards installed on your phone in addition to a physical SIM card. You won't be able to use 2 or more eSIM cards simultaneously, however, you can swing between eSIM cards at any time.

I know that you can use two eSIM profiles simultaneously on a Pixel 7 running stock Android: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9449293

I would assume you can on GrapheneOS too, since the eSIM is a separate hardware component.

I hope somebody can confirm this!

I went ahead and installed another eSim and can confirm it was possible to achieve what I needed. I can toggle between eSim but not run both same time.

JayJay Thank you for reporting back 🌷

Hopefully this becomes available soon

spiral Important to note that this may already be possible on 7th gen Pixels running GrapheneOS. I'm not 100% sure.

@JayJay says they tried it on a Pixel 7

spiral You're right, I missed that, sorry.

I'll ask around and see if I can get an answer.
