Yes, 2 eSIMs can work at the same time on a device that supports dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) technology. This feature allows you to have two active eSIMs, enabling you to receive calls and text messages on both numbers. However, while you can keep both lines active for calls and texts, only one eSIM can access cellular data at a time. To utilize this functionality, ensure your device is compatible with DSDS and that both of your eSIMs are activated.
