Can we have two eSIMs , instead of one physical sim card and one eSIM. I have an airtel sim which's network is pretty weak in my area and in the house and other network is on esim which works flawlessly.

Yes you can … but ONLY for an iPhone 13 or later.


On those newer phones, multiple carrier profiles (different carriers / different phone numbers) can be programmed into the eSIM chip and used simultaneously.


(Older phones - going back to Xs and Xr - can also store multiple eSIM profiles, but can only use one eSIM profile at-a-time)
