Jordan eSIM dual-SIM settings let a compatible phone use NoveSIM for mobile data while the primary SIM remains available for its normal number.
The phone must route data explicitly through the travel line. Keeping two lines enabled does not automatically prevent the home carrier from supplying expensive roaming data.
NoveSIM Jordan plans are data-only and do not provide a local number, traditional calls or SMS.
Quick answer: Select Jordan Travel for Mobile Data, enable Data Roaming on that eSIM, keep roaming off on the primary SIM and disable automatic data switching. Leave the main line on only when you understand its call, voicemail and SMS charges.

Review how NoveSIM works and check the exact phone on the device list. Some phones support eSIM but cannot keep the same combination of lines active.
Keep Messaging Apps on the Existing Number
Installing a data eSIM does not normally change the number registered with WhatsApp, Signal or iMessage. Do not use an app’s Change Number function merely because Jordan Travel becomes the data line.
Internet calls and messages use NoveSIM data where available. Carrier calls and SMS on the primary number continue under the home provider’s international terms.
Configure iPhone or Android
- Give each SIM a clear label.
- Turn on the Jordan travel profile after arrival.
- Select it in Cellular Data, Mobile Data or Preferred SIMs.
- Enable roaming only inside the travel profile.
- Disable Cellular Data Switching, Switch Mobile Data Automatically or the equivalent.
- Leave the network on Automatic and test with Wi-Fi off.
Use the specific iPhone or Android guide when the menu names differ.
Understand Calls and Possible Charges
The home line can receive authentication messages or calls when the carrier permits roaming, but “enabled” does not mean “free”. Incoming calls, voicemail forwarding, outgoing calls and SMS may be charged.
If the primary number is unnecessary during the trip, switching that line off is the simplest way to avoid accidental carrier use. Emergency calling availability must not be assumed from a data-only travel plan.
If Data Uses the Wrong SIM
- Reopen Mobile Data and choose Jordan Travel.
- Turn automatic data switching off.
- Confirm home-line Data Roaming is off.
- Toggle Airplane Mode and retest.
- If Jordan has signal without internet, set data.esim only when a manual APN is required.
Do not delete the installed eSIM unless NoveSIM Support specifically instructs you to do so. Use the Jordan troubleshooting guide if selection remains correct but data fails.

FAQ
Can I keep my main number with a Jordan eSIM?
Yes, on a compatible dual-SIM phone. The travel eSIM supplies data while the normal number remains on the primary line.
Will WhatsApp change numbers?
No, not merely because the data line changes. Keep the existing app account unless you intentionally want a number change.
Can the home SIM still create charges?
Yes. Calls, voicemail and SMS may incur roaming charges even when its data roaming is off.
Which line needs Data Roaming?
Enable it on Jordan Travel and keep it off on the primary SIM.
Final Recommendation
Apply Jordan eSIM dual-SIM settings explicitly instead of relying on the phone’s default line choices.
Route data through Jordan Travel, disable fallback and keep primary-line roaming off.
Retain the main number only when its carrier charges and the device’s dual-SIM behaviour are understood.
