For many users, having a phone that can use 2 physical SIMs simultaneously brings many conveniences, as it maintains two phone numbers from different carriers at the same time. Maintaining 2 SIMs fulfills the communication needs of those who frequently make calls, especially business professionals or tele-salespeople. iPhone 12 Pro Max is one of the premium phones that can help users use two phone numbers simultaneously.
