Hi. I have an unlocked Samsung Z Fold 3 (SM-F926UI) that I bought from Samsung US website. With the new update it now shows the eSIM option in my phone. I am currently carrying a work phone and a personal phone. If I transfer both my phone numbers to my Z Fold 3 (one physical + 1 eSIM)- would I be able to get SMS/calls on both the phones all the time? I understand that you can not get calls on both numbers at the same time, one of them automatically goes to voicemail, but other than that, are both the SIMs active all the time? Can I send/receive SMSs on both connections simultaneously?
It would be great if somebody can please confirm this!
I THINK I understand your question, so here goes.
When you activate BOTH SIM cards (physical and eSIM) on the Fold 3, the other phone will stop working on the CELLULAR network it was on because the SIM card in it would have been de-provisioned and no longer registered on the network.
So, in essence, your ONE phone (Fold 3) will have BOTH numbers on it. You will be able to Call/Text/whatever using EITHER, but, as you said, not at the same time.
Your other phone, depending on what it is, will still work on WiFi, but the SIM card in it will, for all purposes, be dead.
