2 phone numbers

[Mel6]

Hi all.  I have an iPhone 12 mini, on a sim-only contract with o2.  I would like a second phone number on the same phone (for my business) but don't need more data etc.  Is there anyway I can do this? I don't think my phone will take a second SIM card.  Any help would be appreciated.  TIA

Hi @Mel6 

Unless you have a dual sim phone, the logical answer is no. You could have two sims and change them but that's as ridiculous as it sounds.

It's either 2 phones or a phone with a dual sim capacity really.

@Mel6 As far as I am aware, the iPhone 12 mini, like all iPhone 11/12/13 models accept an eSim as well as a physical sim. It can’t hurt investigating that option.

Interesting and something I'd never thought of, so thanks for that. I did find this article today which explains it in greater detail....
