Frequently asked questions
1. What are the new benefits of Multi-SIM?
  
  Having up to five SIM cards on the same mobile number allows you to share data services across all of your mobile devices. You can only use data across all SIMs; voice allowance and SMS feature will be limited to the primary SIM only.
  
  For example, you can use the voice allowance and data on the primary SIM while continuing to use data to email or SMS on your other mobile devices.
  
  If you are using eSIM as your secondary SIM, you can only use your data allowance with your eSIM except for Apple watch. Voice allowance will be limited to the primary e-SIM or SIM only.
  
  Consumer Plans allowances are strictly Intended for own personal use only and must not be shared with or used by any other person. You will not resell or allow any third party to use the service for remuneration or otherwise commercially exploit the service. Usage will be monitored, and we reserve the rights to disconnect the line without any notification, in the case of activity that is not consistent with these requirements.
