Does s24 base model support 2 e-sims simultaneously?

Im getting different answers from various sites.

According to a Google search it does.

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S24 (including the base model) supports two active eSIMs simultaneously. It also allows for a physical SIM card to be used alongside the two eSIMs, giving users the option of up to three active SIMs (though only two can be active at the same time)

Could contact Samsung and see if they can confirm this for you.

No, only one e-sim can be active at a time, although S24 series support up to 20 profiles e-sim. But you can have one e-sim and one physical sim card in same time.

No, the S24 can only have two cards active at the same time, one of which is an e-sim, because it only has one slot for a physical card, while the S21 ultra can have 3 active cards (two physical and one e-sim, because it has a slot for 2 physical cards).

Hi @Members_rL2RxOK 

According to the Samsung's Website specs for the Galaxy S24 it supports two SIMs, either physical, e-SIMs or a combination of both. So, yes, it should supports 2 e-SIMs simultaneously. However, it will depend on the carrier as well. Using two SIMs/e-SIMs might cause slower data transfer speeds.

Samsung does not make it easy to find the nitty-gritty, when it comes to specs. As far as I know, the S24 series supports Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS). It means that both SIMs will be active, but only one can be used for calling or transferring data at any given time.

They do not support Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA), which will allow both SIMs to be active for calls and data simultaneously. However, this should not affect the majority of users. I do not think that most of us will be wanting to make two phone calls simultaneously. This is pretty much standard for most dual SIM phones in use today.

What are your needs for dual SIM?

Many SIM profiles, but not both running at the same time. One SIM and one eSIM work. Two standard SIMs work.

Bro. Im planning to travel long time abroad.

My home number is an e-sim.

Im planning to get another e-sim in travel country.

I wanna use travel sim for everything but i wanna have my home e-sim in the background. Will i be able to receive calls and sms from home country?

[Reylob]

Depending on your network and their roaming arrangements. Most of them will allow to receive sms free.

I have been able to receive call and messages from the UK when on holidays and having a local SIM. I had had only two SIMs.

One e-sim

Hi @Piper123 

Are you saying that it only supports one active e-sim? Is this from personal experience?

The specification states: SIM 1 + SIM 2 / SIM 1 + eSIM / Dual eSIM

There is also this article:

However, I have not used eSIMs outside my Galaxy Watch.
