@Rteelock  Looks like european wireless carriers are not having a problem with eSIM.

Do we have an update on this thread? iOS 12.1 has been out for a bit... can I finally quit carrying a biz phone and a personal phone?

does AT&T have the “visual voicemail issues” worked out yet?

so when am i able to activate the esim? iOS 12.1 is out so....... what are we waiting for?

I already know the esim works because that’s how my son’s phone is working. I spend my morning with AT&T and Apple support. Conclusion was that it will work, but you will have to go into the AT&T store and give them the digital sim number. If you don’t want to do that, AT&T will have an update in early 2019 (according to AT&T rep) with an automated process of moving to the esim. 

So how are dual-SIM users selecting which number to message, call, or pull data from? Has anyone seen voicemails and how the biz line is distinguished from the personal line?

can the eSIM be “moved” temporarily from phone to phone? ie: biz and personal lines in the same phone, but handing off the “biz phone” to a manager for the weekend or vacation?

Evidently, there are some problems with the dual sim that will not allow the phone to work properly. Until the bugs are worked out, the dual sim will not be able to be activated.

the EU has had dual sim android phones for years so they were ready for this.  The us carriers have shunned dual sim phones all these years and now apple is forcing it on them.

iOS iOS update came out a week ago to support esim, requires a QR code to work.

Dual Sim is now active with the recent 12.1 update. How do I get my esim for my at&t account?

The update just sent out recently has the dual sim for new iPhones.
