Dual sim at Simyo

So using WhatsApp via eSIM is not a problem. With two numbers on one phone accessible via WhatsApp? For example, to keep private and business separate? That is also possible. But through a workaround, namely through WhatsApp Business. This is a separate WhatsApp app for business use. It's free and this way you whatsapp with two numbers on one phone. Don't want to receive notifications from your business WhatsApp outside working hours? Then you have to mute ongoing calls yourself for eight hours. Read more about WhatsApp with dual sim here .

That's the same as with a regular Sim Only or Prepaid! Except that you then have two, of course. You can cancel your order within fourteen days. After that, you're still in control. Do you have a Prepaid SIM card? You can switch whenever you want. Don't want to take your Prepaid number with you? Then use up your credit and that's it. After six months, the Prepaid number expires automatically.

Do you have a Sim Only? Then it depends on your term. If you have a 1 or 2 year contract, you can switch or cancel before the contract expires. You only have to pay a buy-out fee. You can find this on My Simyo. Do you have a monthly cancelable subscription or has your annual contract expired? Then you can cancel your subscription every month.

With Simyo, you have the choice of a physical SIM card or eSIM. eSIM is the digital SIM card. The physical sim card is a 3-in-1 sim card. That means you can click out the right size. So our sim cards fit any phone!

Yes, every Simyo number has its own login details for My Simyo. So you log in with the phone number and a password.

Both SIM cards use one antenna in your phone. Because the sim cards' signals are bundled, they can connect to the network at the same time. So calls, texts and apps can come in on both numbers. But if you call or Internet with one number, the other number goes out temporarily. Most dual sim standby smartphones do allow you to have calls coming in on your temporarily inactive number forwarded to your active number.

With dual sim passive, you always have to manually choose which number to activate, with the other number unreachable. Not very practical, so this outdated technology is actually never used anymore. With dual sim active, you can actively use both SIM cards at the same time and therefore even take changeover calls between them. But because you have two antennas that are constantly on, your battery drains at lightning speed.

Yes, all new iPhones from 2018 onwards support dual sim.

However: an iPhone does not have room for two physical SIM cards, but uses eSIM for dual sim. The eSIM is a chip in the phone that acts as a sim card, eliminating the need for the physical sim card. And we support that at Simyo, too! You can easily switch to your phone's eSIM via the My Simyo app. If you're not yet a customer, you can choose whether you want a normal sim card or an eSIM right when you order. So if your motto for phone numbers is it takes two to tango, then you're in the right place with your new iPhone at Simyo.

Dual sim is a godsend abroad. Now that roaming is free in the EU, you no longer have to worry about it in Europe: calling and surfing the Internet is just as cheap as in the Netherlands, because it comes from your bundles. But in non-EU countries, the costs outside the bundle of your sim only subscription can add up considerably. If you put a foreign SIM card in your phone, then you can make cheap calls, navigate, stream, Facebook, e-mail or whatever you want to do online in Farawayghistan. While you remain available to all your contacts in the Netherlands on your own number.
