Yes, if your device supports dual SIM technology, you can run two numbers on one phone. Here’s how it works:
1. 🔀 Hybrid-Slot (Dual-SIM Slot)
What It Is: Some phones come with two physical SIM slots (a “Hybrid-Slot”). You can insert:
Two Nano-SIM cards (e.g., one for personal use and one for business), or
One Nano-SIM + one microSD card (for extra storage).
Key Benefit: Both SIMs remain active, so you can receive calls and texts on both lines without swapping cards.
2. 🌐 eSIM + Physical SIM (Dual-SIM–eSIM)
What It Is: Many newer smartphones (iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and most modern Androids) support one physical SIM plus one eSIM profile, no second SIM slot needed. Check you device compatibility here.
How It Works with ORA:
Keep Your Physical SIM Active for domestic calls and texts.
Install an ORA eSIM by scanning or tapping the QR code (one day before travel). The ORA eSIM appears under Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data) by its provider name (e.g., “3HK eSIM” or “Ubigi Global eSIM”).
Assign Lines: In Settings → Cellular, choose which SIM handles voice/SMS (your physical SIM) and which handles data (your ORA eSIM).
Roaming Management: One day before you travel, turn Data Roaming ON for your ORA eSIM and ensure Data Roaming is OFF for your physical SIM. When you land, your ORA plan activates automatically, and your physical SIM remains inactive abroad—no accidental charges.

Two Active Numbers: Use your home number and a travel number on one device without constantly swapping SIM cards.
