Does an eSIM replace my regular SIM card?

No - a Gohub eSIM does not replace your regular SIM card. It works alongside it.

Think of it as adding a second line to your phone, not switching lines. Your physical SIM stays in your device and continues to handle everything it normally does - your home number, calls, SMS, and any apps tied to that number.

The only scenario where your physical SIM becomes less relevant is if you're traveling long-term and choose to rely entirely on your eSIM for everything. But even then, removing your physical SIM is always your choice - it's never required.

The short answer: eSIM and physical SIM coexist. You're adding connectivity, not replacing it.
