eSIM and physical SIM simultaneous use (for same number)

[StanT]

Hi, I have purchased an iPhone 11 pro , and before doing the Sim swap from my physical SIM to eSIM, I was wondering if I will at all be able to use that physical SIM at the same time? E.g. inside a different phone, or that physical SIM becomes deactivated?

No sorry, you can't have the same number on different devices.

Ok, thank you. If I keep the physical SIM, will there (hypothetically) be a possibility to swap back from eSIM to the same physical SIM?

You can swap back but you'll need to do it by calling customer service and they will post out a new sim.

Once disabled, the old one cannot be reconnected.
