Eight Telecom discussion thread

[everex]

By any chance, has anyone combined 1 Physical 8-mobile SIM with 1 8eSIM in the same phone? That means 2 8-Lines in one phone, 1 physical SIM and 1 eSIM? Because that might be my config once my other telco contract ends. Using iPhone by the way.

Thanks.

I did. It's just like having 2 physical SIM from the same telco in a dual SIM phone. Both lines turned on then choose one for data.

Once any one of the sim contract ends, you need to manually switch to the other sim cos both data does not run concurrently. You can only receive calls and sms for both SIM but data or call out, need to choose which SIM.
