Anyone had any luck with getting an eSIM along with a working multiSIM?

Also has anyone been able to delay the activation of eSIM for longer than 24 hours upon receiving the activation package?

not sure what do you mean by multisim... but my dual sim setup works perfectly without any issue (maxis esim + unifi mobile physical sim)

Thanks for the response. multiSIM is a discontinued service that's different from dual-sim. It's basically a cloned SIM card service from Maxis that allows the devices running these SIM cards to share the data plan, make calls from the same number, but we have to designate one of the multiSIMs as the master to receive calls.

I used Maxis 98 plan, 30GB.
Make multi-sim for eSim untuk iPhone XS Max and physical nano sim for Google Pixel 2 XL just this afternoon.
So far no issue.

Maxis Centre, Plaza Merdeka, Kuching

I went to Pavillion and also at KLCC; they keep on offering share-line in which have to choose new number for the other sim; which is totally defeat the purpose of my intention to get a multi-sim for same number.
I think because they want to get sales from new number. RM48/month compare to RM15/month for multi sim.

Thanks again. This is really good to know.

If you are using multi sim on 2 phones and some is calling you, both phones will be ringing?

For multiSIM, you have to designate one of the SIMs as the primary so calls will be forwarded there. The designation is pretty much on-the-fly with just a few key presses.

Reporting back here for the benefit of everyone. I have just replaced the physical SIM card this morning with eSIM and kept all my other 3 existing multiSIMs. The Maxis representative who helped me with my request said I'm allowed the maximum of 5 multiSIMs, unchanged from what was previously known. Upon activation of eSIM, only the primary multiSIM on my phone got deactivated. The Maxis center I went to was Menara Maxis in KLCC. Hope this helps.
