I'm just trying to help, and I don't know your exact situation, but here is some info that might be helpful:

Its possible to use international eSIM services like Airalo, which I've found to be inexpensive and reliable for international travel.

Depending on your needs, you can use Airalo in the 2nd eSIM slot of your iPhone. Then If you set your iPhone to only use data from that 2nd eSIM, you can get incoming calls on your primary US number, using the data stream from the 2nd eSIM for the call.

This setup will actually be WiFi calling, not airtime calling. On some US phone plans, this won't trigger international call charges.

Again, I don't know your exact situation, but there could be some possibilities for you with this route. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone out there who only has a dual eSIM phone…

Again, just trying to help…

EDIT:
If you want to know exactly how to do this, let me know and I'll post it a bit later once I'm at my computer where I have that exact "how to" info saved…

1 - Turn ON wifi calling on SIM1
2 - Turn OFF data roaming on SIM1
3 - Set SIM1 as your primary voice
4 - Set SIM2 as your primary data source
5 - Disable the cellular switching

Whenever not on wifi, this setup will piggy back off SIM2 cellular connection as WiFi calling. This also works on iPhone 13 Pro Max using physical / eSIMs


Apple Support mentions DUAL SIM usage here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209044

Scroll down to "Learn about Dual SIM status icons"


I hope this help!

Mint 100% supports eSIM. I've been using a 14 on Mint since release.

Yeah, i m looking to buy 13 pro max unlocked new, anyone know where to buy it today? Thanks.
Best bet would to buy refurbished directly from Apple. I believe they have some 13 pro max refurbs listed currently.

I wish they had the higher capacity models at Costco. Still a great deal if you're ok with 256 GB.

I also need physical sim for international travel and some countries still don't support esim. I hope 15 will go back to dual esim and sim card
Most likely not going to happen, but I am hoping too. Luckily I update all family phones to 13, can wait for 2/3 more years.

Agree, some countries will never go to esim, Apple make a pretty bad decision on remove physical SIM completely on the phone, which make USA version not international friendly even after unlock.
How do you unlock if its Att? Assuming no contract and paid off? Thanks

Apple won't. There is a lobby of these service providers, they know people will change the sim to make it work with other country's local service and hence won't use their international plan. Also for Apple, their phone becomes less usable in international locations where esim is not common. A lot of countries apple phone is more expensive than in the US, so the folks more often than not, will get a iphone from US via friends/relatives and it will work perfectly with physical sim. Now they don't have a choice. It's all about greed, my friend.

Same. I go to Spain for a couple of months every summer and use a local sim. They're pretty strict over there about cellular and generally esim is only offered to contracts. Guess I'll be stuck on iPhone 13 Pro Max.
That makes iphone 13 phones more valuable. I will hold on to my iphone 13 pro max as long as I can.

That would be very un-Apple. But I do agree that an option for a physical SIM would be nice.
they finally relented on their crappy keyboard design from years back. sometimes they admit mistakes....just not out loud.
