Hi there chakkaravarthy225,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to use Dual SIM but you are concerned the iPhone 12 you order may be locked. To use Dual SIM your iPhone will need to be unlocked or both plans would need to be from the same carrier. Learn more here: Using Dual SIM with an eSIM.


We hope this helps!
