Just and FYI, if you have an iPhone X or higher you can actually use two different carriers sims cards. I'm doing this this year because T-Mobile signal is better where I'm hunting in MT than my AT&T. So I just bought a pre-paid T-Mobile card for $25


Note: One SIMS card is a built in card and the other you can easily remove form the side of you e phone and your phone must be unlocked by your carriers. For AT&T you do it yourself from your computer.

Have you main carrier make their SIMS card the built in sims so that you can simply put any other carriers sims card in the side slot.

You'll see the single strength from each carriers on your home screen top right and in the drop down menu.

Dope.

So you buy the prepaid card for one month and you get to use both carriers. then after the month is up you basically prepay again or trash it?

Traveling is the other reason I like having the 2 sims card option.

I'm new to IPhones and just picked up an SE and the wife got an 11. Would you have any idea if this is possible with these?

ETA, ours are through cricket, if that matters.

Simore, an adapter for dual sim cards.

Great idea but no idea what service I would need? Verizon seems best but most money for sure.

I didn’t know this was possible with the iPhone, but am glad it’s an option. This would allow for two different phone numbers to be used on a single phone, correct?

BTW, you better put that archery stuff up for sale, you should have done that an hour ago. LOL

I really appreciate posts like this. Thanks for sharing because I don’t think I ever knew I could use my phone like that.

Maybe im misunderstanding what youre saying, but I have a 6 Plus and having switching carriers/cards for years. Work phone with one number, switch to my personal number/sim sometimes.

So you’re saying you’re switching the Sims cards in and out of the side of your phone?

The iPhone X‘s and newer the sims cards stay in your phone so just tap which carrier you want to use.
