Yes, the iPhone 15 does support dual SIM functionality, primarily through eSIM. You can use two eSIMs simultaneously or even an eSIM and a physical SIM (in some regions) to manage two different phone numbers or plans on one device. This is great for separating personal and work lines.

Activating an eSIM on your iPhone 15 is straightforward. Here's how you generally do it:

  • Contact your carrier: Most carriers offer eSIM activation either through their app, website, or by providing you with a QR code.
  • Scan a QR code: Go to Settings > Cellular > Add Cellular Plan, then use your iPhone's camera to scan the QR code provided by your carrier.
  • Manual Entry: If you don't have a QR code, you can often manually enter the details provided by your carrier under the same 'Add Cellular Plan' section.

Your new eSIM profile will then be downloaded and activated on your device.

Using an eSIM on your iPhone 15 offers several advantages. It streamlines the activation process, eliminates the need for physical SIM cards (which can be lost or damaged), and makes it easier to switch carriers or plans. It's also very convenient for international travel, as you can easily add a local data plan without swapping cards.
