using two ones one number?

[_Jimlad_]

Hey all,

does anyone run two phones, one number ? can this be done with e-sim and a sim card?

or at worst just swapping the sim ? i guessing WhatsApp will be my biggest challenge?

currently do this on a samsung thats dual sim. theyve got built in functionality to support having 2 whatsapps etc.
ive also done it before on an iphone using an e sim and simcard but they dont let you have 2 whatsapp apps. you have to use whatsapp business for one of the numbers.

What are you exactly trying to achieve?

WhatsApp recently allowed multi device support if that's what you're trying to do. I haven't tried it but they have a small guide here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/download-and-installation/about-multi-device-beta/?lang=en

in a nutshell I want to have two active phones, one for my fitness and one for normal life, I have a large weighty pixel 6 for normal use, but want to use my pixel 5 for the trail running.

i don't mind physically swapping the sim card before i set off, so will look at that WhatsApp stuff now
