Just a couple of questions:

1. If you want to have a personal number and another number for other business purposes, would you go for a dual SIM (in the case of my iPhone mini 12 it'd be one nano-SIM and one eSIM) or would you go for 2 phones?
Which offers more convenience overall?


2. Does eSIM work exactly the same as a traditional micro/nano-SIM?


Would love to hear your input, thanks in advance!

1. depends on who or if u wanna let others access both number or only 1. also depends on other things

2. work the same yes. use the same, no.

No way I would want to carry 2 phones in my pocket, 1 phone is heavy enough.

Depends. If company's giving me a phone to use for work, sure, I'll carry two phones. Save a bit on battery, especially if the two sim you're using runs on two different network with drastically different coverage. Also makes it easier to shut things off from work once your work hours is done.

But if we're talking about sheer convenience factor, dual-sim phone wins hands down. I mean, sure, I can't receive two phone calls at the same time, but that rarely happens these days with whatsapp.

1. I used to use dual sim phone so that i only have to carry one phone. But due to work life balance, I switch to 2 phones now. After 6pm, I'll jz leave my work phone alone and be with my personal phone. It's totally up to you.

2. Yups, they are the same.

Does that mean if you want to have a dual-SIM, it's best to use the same network provider (e.g. Digi) when it comes to battery saving?
Thank you

Thanks everyone for your valuable input, highly appreciated!

Vote for eSIM setup.

I carry 5 phones daily. Each have dual SIM cards. Total of 10 lines.

Gilerr...

if you carry iPhone, say each got 5 lines, you can take with you 25 lines at a time. Mobile office already.

dual sim, same provider of diff provider make no diff
nowadays phone come with fast charging. and slim compact power bank also alot
battery drain is less an issue
you can turn off sim 2 ( work ) just toggle the setting after work if you wish

That sounds like a great idea. I do hope my iphone has the function of turning off SIM 2, haven't tried using dual SIM before so I'm not sure.

Anyone has experience getting eSIM (new number) from Digi?

For iPhone it's not dual standby mode if im not mistaken.

How many gf u need?

3 enough lo, take turns.

Seems like a very fragmented life you have there... I would already be damn confused if I have 2-3 different numbers.

What does DUAL STANDBY MODE mean here?

If I'm using eSIM + NanoSIM on my iphone, can I deactivate 1 of them temporarily when not in used to save battery?
If I did and someone calls my deactivated number that time, will the phone rings?

Dual standby means if both Sims are on standby mode, you can receive calls and messages from any of the two numbers.
