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.

2 years ($199 value). Would be interesting to see if anyone got a refund on that partial or otherwise.
some people tried in a previous iPhone 13 pro deal with apple care and it did not go well.

I think they based it on the time that Costco put the apple care on the devices, which was way before the initial purchase.

Got one, thanks. My Citi card comes with a 2-year extended warranty. Apple may be able to refund the $199 AppleCare in the bundle if you don't need it.
Do you know if this is possible?

I might be confused but didn't citi end that extended warranty coverage beginning this year?

I read somewhere that some country sells iphone 14 with physical sim still.
Only in the US they sell esim iPhones. Rest of the world is still with physical sim.

Used to work in the past, probably still does. Did this once when BB offered free Applecare+ with iPad purchases.
Wonder if Apple is looking for an itemize receipt with AppleCare

If you paid in full upfront for your AppleCare plan
Before you contact Apple, please have these items ready:
The AppleCare agreement number. Sign in to MySupport to look up your agreement number.
The serial number of the device that the plan covers. Learn how to find the serial number.
Your original sales receipt.

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.
Airalo does Spain.

I was worried about esim when I got my 14, but apple supports 5 esims concurrently going back to the X/XR. I bough an esim before a trip to Thailand and it immediately activated when I landed. So much easier than swapping chips or having one shipped or buying one once you land.

I mean, you can get 5gb for 30 days in Slovenia for $15 with Airalo without SMS or voice or 500gb for 30 days for $15 with a local SIM card with unlimited sms and voice. It's not even a comparison.
As I said, I don't know everyone's scenario and I was trying to give an option to help someone out there who has a dual eSIM phone. Not everyone will have the scenario you mention, but what you point out is there are different options in different countries. So thanks for that Smilie

If someone's scenario is only going to Slovenia, it seems a no brainer to get the local SIM you talk about, assuming of course there is an eSIM option for those who only have dual eSIM phones, and if that is an option, assuming the rate you speak about is available without a contract.

If that's the case, then bravo, that's a better deal for sure and thanks for letting us know Smilie
