Hello,

I was looking through the apps on my phone and I just noticed that there are two SIM tools even though I have only one SIM card. Can someone help me?

    Hello.
    Is it possible that there are two SIM card slots?
    What model of phone do you have?

      Hello,

      No, not necessarily, I have an old Samsung phone that is not Orange with the same phenomenon, and it is not Dual Sim.

      It concerns the coexistence on the phone of a physical SIM card (pSIM) and a virtual SIM card (eSIM) soldered to the motherboard; the latter is probably a precursor to the announced disappearance of physical SIM cards in favor of virtual SIM cards.

      One can, if their phone is compatible, subscribe with their operator to an eSIM rather than a physical SIM, I doubt this capability is activated on low-end phones even if the hardware component exists.
