Absolutely! Most modern smartphones support Dual SIM functionality, meaning you can easily keep your home physical SIM card active alongside your Triply eSIM. This is super handy for group travelers! You can set your physical SIM to receive calls and texts (like those important 2FA codes from your bank) while designating your Triply eSIM for all your data needs abroad. This way, you stay connected with your group and still have access to your home number without incurring hefty roaming charges for data.
