Can I use my eSIM and my regular SIM at the same time?

Quick answer

Yes. Modern phones are dual-SIM, so you can keep your home SIM active for calls and texts while using the Movia eSIM for data. Just set the Movia line as your default mobile data.

This is the best way to travel: keep your home number reachable for calls and 2FA texts, and route all data through the cheaper Movia eSIM.

Recommended setup

Voice & SMS: your home SIM (so your number still works).
Mobile data: the Movia eSIM (this is what saves you money).
Turn OFF Data Roaming on your home SIM so it never uses expensive carrier roaming.

Keeping your home SIM's data roaming OFF is what prevents surprise bills — your home carrier never touches data.
