That is covered in this support link→Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support


Summarizing it:


Choose a number before you send an iMessage or SMS/MMS message


  1. Open Messages.
  2. Tap the New button, in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  3. Enter your contact's name.
  4. Tap the current phone number.
  5. Tap the number you want to use.
