iPhone 15 not receiving calls on e-sim (Sim 2) in dual SIM setup

I am not getting calls on e-sim while using dual sims. i have a physical sim for my personal number and e-sim for my work. i was using this setup on my iphone 12 but came to realise that I was not getting calls on e-sim. since then I have upgraded to iphone 15 but the issue has continued. I have to disable and enable sim 2 (work e-sim) and then it starts working but then again stops after some time. I do not want to carry 2 phones but looks like either I’ll have to do that or move to a dual sim android option if this continues. I live in Australia and have different providers for these sims. Both work on GSM network.

Something def seems amiss with your eSIM. (it shouldn’t simply stop working and require you to “cycle it” to regain functionality)


I’ve used dual eSIMs for years w/ 3x different carriers and they’ve never “quit working” on their own.


Contact your eSIM’s carrier w/ the specific details.


If you aren’t satisfied w/ the Tier-1 CSR, don’t hesitate to escalate.
