Iphone 11 pro dual sim

Can I use both nano sims in the new iPhone 11 pro? I have two networks one for work and one personal on different networks and need a phone that can take both.

Using Dual SIM with an eSIM

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and later feature Dual SIM with a nano-SIM and an eSIM.1 An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical nano-SIM.


Here are a few of the many ways you can use Dual SIM:

  • Use one number for business and another number for personal calls.
  • Add a local data plan when you travel outside of the country or region.
  • Have separate voice and data plans.


With iOS 13, both of your phone numbers can make and receive voice and FaceTime calls and send and receive messages using iMessage, SMS, and MMS.2 Your iPhone can use one cellular data network at a time.


1. eSIM on iPhone is not offered in China mainland. In Hong Kong and Macao, only iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone XS feature eSIM. Learn about using Dual SIM with two nano-SIM cards in China mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao.

2. This uses Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) technology, which means that both SIMs can make and receive calls.
