What is a Dual eSIM phone?

A Dual eSIM phone is a model that supports two active eSIMs and does not include a physical SIM card slot. eSIM has become a widely available standard across Europe that allows activation of mobile plans from wherever you are, without the need to attain a physical SIM card. As of 2026, all major European carriers support eSIMs.

What’s the difference between the different Dual-SIM types?

For some phone models, you can select between different Dual-SIM types - while they all support the simultaneous use of up to two SIM cards or profiles, the difference lies in the combination of physical SIM card or eSIM support.

The Dual-SIM types explained:

  • Dual-SIM (2 physical SIMs)

Phones with this Dual-SIM type support the simultaneous use of two SIM cards, but may not support digital eSIM profiles.

  • Dual-SIM (2 eSIMs)

iPhones with this Dual-SIM type support the simultaneous use of two digital eSIM profiles, but do not have physical SIM card slots. Many of these phones support more than two eSIMs stored on the device but only two can be active at a time.

  • Dual-SIM (physical SIM + eSIM)

Phones with this Dual-SIM type accept one physical SIM card and one digital eSIM profile that can be used simultaneously.

Before purchasing, we clearly indicate which Dual-SIM types are available for your chosen phone model, so you can choose the option that best fits your needs.
