In my phone, Verizon uses the physical SIM card and the eSIM slot is available for another cell phone provider (either the same one, another US one or an international provider). Basically, I have the ability to use two different cell phone providers. However, the technology has advanced and it turns out that most newer phones (post late 2017) have eSIM capability, which is basically a digital SIM that is soldered directly to a device's board, and is remotely reprogrammable through software. Those sounded pretty cool so I checked, and my iPhone 11 mini does not have the dual-SIM capacity. It turns out they are fairly common in newer phones and allow you to add an extra SIM card into your phone that can be used interchangeably with your regular provider's SIM card. But then I came across a post here talking about dual SIM phone. I've been doing a lot of research on SIM cards recently, trying to figure out whether I should buy an extra phone and an international SIM card, or bite the bullet and pay for Verizon's outrageous international fees.
