Configuring Data Roaming on Dual SIM

Hopefully someone can clarify this for me - I have an iphone 11 Pro and am currently use an eSIM as my main SIM (let's call it Home SIM).

When I travel, I like to purchase a prepaid SIM and put a physical SIM into my iphone (Travel SIM).


Can I turn on data roaming just for my Travel SIM and not for my Home SIM on my phone? I plan to travel to Japan later this year and have purchased a prepaid SIM that is actually originates from Hong Kong so data roaming needs to be turned on for it to work. I don't want my Home SIM data roaming to be on as I will get stung with exorbitant roaming fees on that account.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Short answer to your question is a YES.

You can go to Settings-->>Cellular-->>Cellular Plans

Under cellular plans you will have your eSIM and your Physical SIM plans listed. Choose them and configure your Data Roaming setting.
