Will my regular SIM be deactivated?

No, most newer mobile phone models have a dual-SIM function integrated. With dual-SIM, you can make calls and send texts using your physical SIM card or another eSIM, while using your travel eSIM to access the internet while on vacation.

It's important to note that the eSIM does not protect you from international call or text message charges. The PingSIM eSIM only protects against roaming costs. We offer mobile data packages for sale, which do not include calls or texts. If you want to avoid these charges, we recommend deactivating your SIM card in your phone's settings.
