Is verizon on a physical sim on your phone? If it's on e-sim, you can only have one e-sim active at a time.
Anyway when you have one physical sim and one e-sim on your phone, you can control which is used for for data, etc in setting/cellular
Verizon should be able to give you a physical sim if you need one.

Both of my lines (eSim and Physical Sim) are Verizon.

Actually, I don't have an approach that I have developed. I am new to this concept.
The idea I had was that my primary number would remain active during my trip. The secondary voice number would be forwarded to an associate. Once forwarded, I would then use the Sim "space" for international data roaming when I was traveling.

Before I even knew what an eSim was and how it could be deployed, my idea was to take out the physical Sim on the secondary line and replace it with a physical SIM. However, it seems like the eSIM offers opportunties to download on the fly, improving functionality?
Any experiences or advice anyone can offer would be very much welcome!
