So if o2 had supported esim second provider a lot of people may have been able to get around the no data issue !

Possibly, @adamtemp64 but only for iPhone users with compatible phones or those with dual sim phones. You also would have to be paying for two providers, and I don't think there are many who are willing or able to do that.

I guess that's true.. seems a lot of faff for the occasional network outage.. but might've saved some a lot of grief

If the second sim was say an equivalent of the o2 payg classic sim it would not be a costly back up etc but for me it would have allowed live traffic updates when not passing free Wi-Fi in central London yesterday !

Yes for iPhones at present but I guess that will eventually change as the technology moves from the m2m internet of things devices , to more mainstream handsets and tablets

Ultimately, esim will be the norm and the sim slot will be removed from phones, so there won't be dual sim capability anyway. Yo'd still need a dual sim device in the future.

When all this was going on yesterday I did think about the feasibility for some to have a dual sim phone...

@MI5 I guess dual esim is a possibility we will have to see how it goes as with brexit Uk businesses that travel a lot it would be good functionality

Yes, I think that will be the key for UK users at least.
