You have 90 days from the date your order was placed to activate your physical PureTalk SIM before it expires. This does not apply to eSIMs. eSIMs can be activated at any time.

A Dual SIM device can use two active SIMs, allowing you to have two phone numbers on the same device. Depending on the device, it may use two eSIMs or one eSIM and one physical SIM.

You can manage both lines through your device settings and choose which number to use for calls, text messages, and cellular data. PureTalk currently supports Dual SIM functionality on iPhone 13 and newer models and select Samsung devices.

Absolutely! If you have a device compatible with PureTalk's eSIM, you can certainly switch from a physical SIM to an eSIM. Contact our Customer Support department by dialing 611 from your PureTalk phone or by calling (877) 820-7873. If possible, please call using a different phone, since some steps in the process may require your device to be turned off or restarted, which could end your call.
