Absolutely, you can continue to receive calls on your primary phone number even when an eSIM is active on your device, provided your phone supports simultaneous SIM and eSIM operation.

For iPhone users, certain models come equipped with Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology, which facilitates uninterrupted connectivity for both your physical SIM and eSIM. This feature is particularly useful for travelers or anyone who needs to maintain service on two numbers simultaneously.

The capability to activate multiple eSIMs varies by iPhone model. For instance, the iPhone 13 series, including the iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini, supports Dual SIM functionality with two active eSIMs or a combination of one nano-SIM and one eSIM.

On the other hand, earlier models such as the iPhone 12 series, iPhone 11 series, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR offer Dual SIM via one nano-SIM and one eSIM, with the caveat that only one eSIM may be active at a time.

For detailed specifications and capabilities of your particular device, reaching out to the manufacturer is advised.

Be aware, utilizing call services while roaming might incur additional charges based on your cellular plan and provider. It’s wise to verify potential roaming costs with your carrier to avoid unexpected charges.
