Surface Pro Duo Dual SIM

We all saw the unveil of the new Surface devices coming soon, right? I feel like the Surface Duo is tailor made for the on the go business professional who really can get everything done from their Surface Duo with its capabilities. The one thing that I'm sure it's missing is Dual SIM capabilities. What do you think? I have multiple phone numbers and carry two phones, both an iPhone Xs Max and Galaxy Note 8. I'd love to downsize that into 1 and have two SIM's in the Surface Duo.

Surface Duo has a physical Nano SIM. AT&T locked SKU will have eSIM disabled while the Open market SKU will support Dual SIM single available (physical SIM and eSIM) – so only one SIM for calls, texts, data can be active at one time.

For more information about switching between SIM data plans see, Set up a mobile data connection on Surface Duo.

    I took mine too the Att store in September 2020 and they activated my esim in minutes.

    I've been using that esim ever since.

    You probably asked someone who was'nt knowledgeable enough to get that done for you.

    Samsung phones has dual messenger app which I find helpful to install my 2nd whatsapp number. Typically that's the top app Every1 uses, even for 2 phones. Hence even if surface duo pro don't have dual Sim, they should have dual messenger app.
