Can both lines be connected to the network at the same time?

Can I use dual eSIM mode with both lines on my Dual SIM phone?

How can I transfer my existing Lucky eSIM to a new Dual SIM iPhone?

• Transfer your existing Lucky eSIM by visiting a Lucky store. Be ready to provide your current eSIM phone number and EID of the new eSIM device you are transferring (this can be found on the box or in the settings of the new Dual SIM iPhone; Settings > General > About > EID General).

How do I tell which phone number I’m using?

• The default labels for the phone lines are Primary and Secondary. To create your own labels, go to Settings > Cellular or Mobile Data on your iPhone. For example, you can name your lines Work and Personal, or something else.
• Use these labels when you choose which phone number to use for making or receiving calls and text messages, to designate a number for cellular data, and to assign a number to your contacts so you know which number you will use.

If I have a data plan on both lines, which data plan will I use and therefore be billed for?

• Both lines can support data plans; however, one number at a time can use cellular data. If you want your iPhone to use cellular data from both plans, depending on coverage and availability, turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching.
• Your data usage will come from the line you assign as your preferred line in your iPhone’s Cellular settings. You can choose to toggle to your other line within those settings at any time. For example, during work hours, you can use the data from your "Work" line, and after work you can switch to your "Personal" line. For details, please see Apple support.

Can I use data while on a call?

• Yes, if you turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching, then while you're on a voice call on your voice-only number, that number automatically switches to use voice and data. This lets you use both voice and data while on the call.
• However, if you turn off Allow Cellular Data Switching and you're active on a voice number that isn't your designated cellular-data number, then cellular data won't work while you're on the call.
• You can also access Wi-Fi on either line regardless of which line you have selected.
• To learn more about changing your cellular data number, see Apple support page.

How will I be billed for voice and messaging?

• Voice and messaging are calculated according to the rate plan of the line used for each activity. With Dual SIM, you have the choice of which line’s phone number to use for each call and text. Note: data charges may apply during simultaneous voice calls.
