Using two phones (1 number, no SIM)

[Peen]

In the past if I wanted to try to phones, I could just swap SIM's. Now that I can only use eSIM with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, it's very difficult to some days use my Pixel 7 Pro or Pixel 6a with my main number.

Using T-Mobile, I can use the QR code to swap eSIM's, but it's clunky, can takes hours and not have any working phones for awhile.

Has anyone found any workarounds or shortcuts to make this process easier?

If that’s your behavior, probably easier to just import a foreign iPhone 14 model with a SIM slot instead. Assuming you’re in the US, just get a Canadian iPhone like many people have done so here.

Good idea.

Long term, even other countries SIM days are numbered. Also, T-Mobile trade in is hard to resist. I would have to buy Canadian phone outright and I already have US 14 Pro Max.

So far, best solution I've had is running two numbers with BlueBubbles (running on Macbook) and T-Mobile digits.
