Can I use an Travel eSIM and a physical SIM card at the same time?

Modified on Thu, 21 May at 9:45 AM

Yes! Dual SIM technology makes this possible. You can purchase an Tesco International Travel eSIM plan from Tesco International and use this alongside your regular SIM when you travel.


To use both an Tesco International Travel eSIM and a physical SIM card simultaneously, follow these simple steps:


Ensure you label your plans and give each a name that help you easily identify which is which:

On iOS:

  • Go to your phone Settings
  • Tap Mobile Service or Cellular
  • Select the eSIM plan you want to rename under SIMs
  • Tap Mobile Plan Label and then Edit custom label

On Android:

  • Go to your phone Settings
  • Select Network & Internet or Connections
  • Select the eSIM plan you want to rename
  • Tap on SIM name or Label and save


When you land in your eSIM destination, activate it to use the local network:

On iOS:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Mobile Service or Cellular
  • Select your eSIM plan under SIMs
  • Select Turn On This Line
  • Turn on Data Roaming

On Android:

  • Go to Settings
  • Select Network & Internet or Connections
  • Tap SIMs or eSIMs
  • Find the eSIM you want to activate and toggle it on (Use SIM, Enable)
  • Go to on mobile data - data roaming and switch it on

 

When you return home or wish to switch back you can go to your settings at any time and switch back to the plan you would like to use.
