Want to use dual SIM cards, including e-SIM, on your iPhone? Here’s step-by-step process

Individuals like to use separate sim cards for their personal and professional usage. But, it was a problem for iPhone users as the iPhone models have just one slot to insert a sim card. However, since the introduction of the iPhone 13 series, users can get the benefit of dual SIM- two active eSIMs or a nano-SIM and an eSIM. Previously, outdated models like iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR also had the option of multiple SIM but a physical one was mandatory.

Here’s everything that’s new with the iPhone 14 Pro series that makes it the ‘best iPhone, yet’

Apple’s iOS 14.5 operating system or subsequent versions must be updated on older iPhone 12 models if you want to use 5G data connections with Dual SIM cards. With iOS 13, your device can only use one cellular data network at once if you are having dual SIMs.

Once configured, using multiple or dual SIM with your iPhone enables you to add a local data plan when travelling outside of your home country, allowing you to avoid paying roaming costs. After setting up mobile hotspots, you can also utilise separate SIMs for phone and internet plans to take advantage of lower data restrictions. Additionally, this feature will offer direct data usage reductions by allowing you to connect your laptop, tablet, or family devices to your iPhone.

To use the dual sim feature, you are required to obtain both sim cards (the physical one and the digital one) from the same operator. Your eSIM supplier will give you a QR code with your eSIM information when you purchase an eSIM. To activate your eSIM card, certain carriers can additionally provide you with a confirmation code.

Steps to install your eSIM on iPhones:

  • Scan the QR code with your iPhone’s Camera app.
  • Once the Cell Plan Detected notification arrives, click on it.
  • Just at the bottom of the screen, tap Continue.
  • Select ‘Add a cell plan’.
  • If a confirmation code is required to activate the eSIM card, enter the operator-provided number when asked.

You can manually enter your eSIM information if you do not possess a QR code.

  • Access Settings.
  • Follow the previous method to navigate to ‘Add a cell plan’.
  • Then, tap “Enter information manually” at the bottom and key in the details.

Steps to activate the eSIM:

After completing the installation process, you need to activate the eSIM by following these steps:

  • Enter Settings.
  • Tap Mobile Data or Cellular Data.
  • Go to your eSIM plan (under Cellular plans).
  • Enable ‘Turn on this line’.

More than one eSIM card can be kept on your iPhone, but only one can be accessible at once. To modify your eSIM card, select Settings, then Cellular Data or Mobile Data, and finally choose the desired plan.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
