hi @talfa
how many PM account do you have? buying a new esim on the same account won't give you a new number, it would just replace the physical sim (ie, the physical sim would no longer work)
you need to have setup 2 different Public Mobile account using 2 different email addresses, did you do that part?

@talfa You need two different accounts with two different emails. If you tried to do it on the same account it will replace the existing sim. To sort it out open a ticket with support at the chat icon bottom right of this page or, if that doesn't work, send them a private message here

hi @talfa
are you using iPhone or Android?
both numbers are using esim? or one physical one esim?
if you are using iPhone, you have to set one number as primary and one number as business, make sure both sim has "Turn on this line" enabled

if you have an Android, you to to set similar thing, make sure both sim are set to active/enabed, and setup which line to use for voice or data
