Two Lines

[Toxin]

Can I get two lines activated at the same time on my iPhone?

My plan at PM still has over 30 days until renewal but I’ve used up all my data.  Can I sign up for another line (use my own code) and get a random number (with eSIM) and activate it along with my old line (physical SIM) on my iPhone and use both lines simultaneously?  Of course I will cancel my second line upon my old line renewal.

You can have 2 plans on your iPhone…one on the SIM and the other on eSIM.

But why don’t you download the TextNow app and pick a random number get the second line for FREE service through WiFi or connect your SIM data?

This is what I am doing!

That's a pretty complicated solution to a simple problem. Just buy a data add-on, or do what @dust2dust suggested and renew your plan early.

[dust2dust]

There may be some debate and YMMV on that. You will pay for the renewal up front but you might get rewards shortly after.

[Toxin]

@Handy1 Is that what you would do?   Adding a temporary 2nd line or early renewal and forfeit your rewards?

[Toxin]

With early renewal, I would not get any of my rewards for the first cycle……

[dust2dust]

It's just dual sim. You can use one or the other for each feature. I set my apn on one account to only do mms. I set the other account to be the main data account. But you can tell it to use either account data too.

[Toxin]

So how does that work?   Having both numbers active and ringing on same phone.  Can you identify which account/SIM card deducting the data usage from?

[dust2dust]

The $10 goes to the new account. You said you're going to cancel that new account. So you could get a couple 200mb add-ons and run out the new plan data and the add-on data and then cancel the account.
I would do the early renewal.

[Toxin]

With new account, I save $10 in referral award assuming I can use that right away.

FREE wifi offered by business owners for its customers?   What a concept!!!  Unfortunately, North America ranks last in that category…..   1GB would last a couple of days if even 😞 

[dust2dust]

You can also do an early renewal instead of a whole other account.

@Toxin 

unless you're a real data hog...consider getting 1GB of data add-on for $15, unless you don't see 1GB lasting untl next renewal. Use more free wifi whenever available ?

[Handy1 · Accepted solution]

@Toxin  You can have two separate accounts. only one number per account and it’s own email , but sure you can have one account on eSIM and a second account on physical SIM card and yes of course use your referral code for the second line
