How to use or manage dual SIM cards on Samsung phone
A dual-SIM or a single-SIM tray will be included with your smartphone, depending on the model. You may utilize two SIM cards on one device while using a dual-SIM model. This is useful if you have several phone numbers for work and home or if you want to utilize a local number while keeping your primary number operational when traveling abroad.

What to do if you want to use eSIM and SIM card at the same time
To have two phone numbers or service providers for a single device, activate the eSIM or insert two SIM cards.
Differing from a physical nano-SIM card, an eSIM is an embedded digital SIM. Using both the nano-SIM card and the eSIM may result in slower data transfer speeds in some areas. The device recognizes up to two SIMs for Dual Standby.
