Using data sim overseas

I am travelling from Australia to Europe early next year and I would like to be able to use my Australian phone number overseas utilizing WiFi calling only


Anticipated setup on iphone 15


Sim1  esim my regular number that is on the Telstra Network Australia – roaming disabled


Sim2  Global roaming DATA ONLY sim on Three network


Question:


Will my iphone use the data only Sim2 (three network) to enable wifi calling on my regular Australian sim - similar to if I were on a wifi network?


Are there any particular settings is should use to make this option work?

iPhone 15, iOS 17

Hello cartwebb,


This page can assist with getting Wi-Fi Calling set up for the iPhone prior the traveling: Make calls using Wi-Fi on iPhone - Apple Support


After that, this link will have some details that can provide details regarding making calls via Wi-Fi Calling when Dual SIM is in use: Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support


Make and receive calls
You can make and receive phone calls with either phone number.
When you're on a call, if the carrier for your other phone number supports Wi-Fi calling, you can answer incoming calls on your other number. When you're on a call using a line that isn't your designated line for cellular data, you need to turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching to receive calls from your other line. If you ignore the call and you have voicemail set up with your carrier, you’ll get a missed-call notification and the call will go to voicemail. Check with your carrier for Wi-Fi calling availability and find out whether additional fees or data usage applies from your data provider.

If you're on a call and your other line shows No Service, either your carrier doesn't support Wi-Fi calling or you don't have Wi-Fi calling turned on.3 It could also mean Allow Cellular Data Switching is not turned on. When you're on a call, an incoming call on your other phone number will go to voicemail if you set up voicemail with your carrier.4 However, you won't get a missed-call notification from your secondary number. Call Waiting works for incoming calls on the same phone number. To avoid missing an important call, you can turn on call forwarding and forward all calls from one number to the other. Check with your carrier for availability and to find out whether additional fees apply.


Cheers.
