Hello

 

I have 2 physical sim cards in my phone along with 1 esim

 

I know that i can not activate all of them together 

But i should be able to choose any physical sim card i want to be active with the Esim 

 

But the phone refuses to activate physical sim card number 2 with the esim

When i try to do so, samsung turns off the second physical sim card and leaves me with esim card active alone 

 

P.s i can activate physical sim card 1 with the esim with no problems 

 

Why is this, is there a solution ?

Every phone has an IMEI number. A unique number that identifies a device capable of phone things. 1 is for sim 1, the second is for sim 2 and the esim. Since the second sim slot and the esim share an IMEI number, only 1 can be in at a time. That's my best go at what's going on, and yes it's annoying. With how esims work, it might be a hardware limitation so they can just update it to fix it

Aha ok

So i can fix this by switching my physical sim cards for now ? I will try this method 

Thanks 🙏
