How to switch between eSIM and physical SIM

Most modern smartphones let you use both a physical SIM and an eSIM at the same time. You can easily switch which SIM is used for mobile data, calls, or SMS.

On iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > Cellular
  2. Choose Cellular Data
  3. Select your Brightkite eSIM

You can also assign your Brightkite eSIM a custom label like “Travel” for easy reference.

On Android:

  1. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs
  2. Choose which SIM to use for Mobile Data

Your physical SIM can stay active for calls/SMS while the Brightkite eSIM handles your travel data.
