2 Apple ID’s on one iphone- dual iMessage

Hello,

I’ll try to explain this the best I can. I have an iPhone XR and using the dual sim option. Personal line is using the e-sim and business line is using the nano sim.

Currently I’m using iMessage for my personal line. I was wondering if anybody knows how I could add iMessage to the business line as well so I’m using iMessage for BOTH lines at the same time?

I do have Apple ID’s for both personal and business but on the iPhone I can only use one ID. So the second part of my question is how do I use 2 Apple ID’s simultaneously on one device?

iPhone XR

Not possible, no. See Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support

”Send messages with iMessage and SMS/MMS

You can send messages with iMessage and use FaceTime on one phone line. To change which line uses iMessage, follow these steps:

Go to Settings > Messages.
Tap iMessage & FaceTime Line.
Select the phone number you want to use.”

iMessage has nothing to do with your SIM - it is Apple’s proprietary internet messaging service associated with your AppleID. And you cannot use two AppleIDs simultaneously on any one device for any one given Apple online service.
