Your phone can hold two lines at the same time. Use the travel eSIM for data and keep your own number for calls, messages and bank codes.
On iPhone
- Open Settings, then Cellular or Mobile Service.
- Choose Cellular Data, then pick the eSIM line.
- Leave the home line on under Calls and Messages.
On Android
- Open Settings, then Network and internet, then SIMs.
- Choose Mobile data, then pick the eSIM line.
- Leave the home line on for calls and messages.
Do you turn off roaming when using eSIM?
- Turn data roaming off on your home line, so it does not roam. The plan page says whether the eSIM line itself needs data roaming on.
- On the eSIM line, use the setting that the plan page names.
Back to the home line
To use your home data again, do the same steps and choose the home line for mobile data. Switch it back when your trip ends, and turn the eSIM line off; you can also delete the eSIM at that point.
The full arrival sequence is on How do I activate an eSIM?. A missing connection is covered on eSIM not connecting.
