Hali, The second SIM card would have to be an eSIM card. This is a software version of a physical SIM card. You can search the web to learn more about eSIM cards. Mark -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Tali Sarnetzky Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2023 4:48

Hello All, Well, I have been working with a 15 Plus for over a week. I have truly been putting it through it proverbial paces and I can tell you that the device heats up far faster and far warmer than does my beloved 14 Pro Max. It's really quite interesting as I understand that the 15 Plus is
