I have an iPhone SE and was with Rogers.
In January, I added a second phone number for my home business using Public and added an eSIM for my new business number. It all went well so I decided that after a trail period I’d look into moving my personal number from Rogers to Public as well.
When I went through the process, I was asked if I had a SIM (which I did), but when I entered the number, it did not work. I now realize that the SIM was tied to Rogers and it would not work with Public. I wanted to keep going with the process so downloaded an eSIM which worked. However, I now know that the iPhone SE only supports one eSIM along with a physical SIM (i.e. a total of 2). So now I'm stuck and can enable only one number (either personal or business) at a time.
It appears the best option is to get a Public SIM card and install it in the iPhone.
My question is what is the best way to implement this?
- how do I tie the new SIM with my personal phone number
- do I turn on my business number first, and then install the physical SIM
- does it matter which number is associated with each SIM/eSIM
