Can I use two physical SIM cards and two eSIMs simultaneously on the Galaxy S24 Ultra


Yes, you can use two physical SIM cards and two eSIMs simultaneously on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but with some limitations regarding active connections.

SIM Configuration

- Dual eSIM Support: The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the first Samsung phone to support dual eSIM functionality, allowing users to have two active eSIMs at the same time[2][3].
- Physical SIM Support: The device also retains a physical SIM slot, enabling the use of a physical SIM alongside the eSIMs[1][3].

Active Connections

- Simultaneous Usage: While you can have two physical SIM cards and two eSIMs installed, only two of these can be active at the same time. This means you cannot use all four connections simultaneously; you will need to choose which two are active for calls and data[1][4][5].

Practical Usage

- Users have reported successfully using combinations such as one physical SIM with two eSIMs, or two physical SIMs with one eSIM, depending on their needs and carrier support[1][2].

In summary, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra offers flexible SIM options, it is essential to manage which connections are active at any given time.
