And though it won't be the decisive factor for most phone shoppers this year, Apple's support marks a major step closer into the mainstream for dual-SIM phones. Note: The information presented below represents our current understanding of an evolving technology.
Check with your provider before committing to a purchase. The iPhones will let you have have two different phone numbers on the same phone.
You'll be able to make and receive calls and send and receive texts on either line. There are two major benefits. You can have two different phone lines -- say, one for business and another for personal use -- without the burden of carrying two phones. And when traveling internationally, dual SIM makes it easier to add a local plan to your phone to avoid costly international roaming and data charges. Read: Why you want a dual-SIM phone. The new iPhones will have a traditional plastic nano-SIM, the familiar hardware-based SIM chip that identifies you to your carrier network, and an eSIM, the newer software-based equivalent.
And here's the big thing: The eSIM can accommodate multiple phone numbers -- which you can add, delete and configure right from your iPhone's settings. In contrast, a plastic SIM needs to be physically removed and swapped. It means that the new iPhones can manage two phone lines simultaneously -- calls coming in to either line will ring your phone, and you'll be able to easily make calls and send texts from either line without reconfiguring settings or swapping out SIM cards.
Note that you won't be able to send and receive data on both lines simultaneously, however. If one line is on a call, incoming calls to the other number will go to voicemail. Dual SIM is already available on Android devices. Just plug the number into the operating system and switch between lines like you would between Netflix user accounts.
However, it could open a new avenue for a nefarious adviser to bypass security protocols. More: Advisers are texting, but are they compliant? Like with other digital communications, the onus will be on compliance teams and archiving technology to develop solutions that enable advisers to take advantage of Dual SIM.
Hamburger said. Mike Pagani, Smarsh senior director of product marketing, said Dual SIM would streamline the solution and make it easier for personal devices to be compliant. What remains to be seen is how Apple will manage contacts and other device settings related to the phone number. Pagani said. As always, some human discretion is still required.
