Generally, yes but I’ve had missed experience on this front so some caution warranted.
Phones that support multiple eSIMs generally do allow you to activate the eSIM and then receive messages on both active eSims. But for some reason, my current phone only lets me use one eSIM at a time. When I turn on the secondary eSIM, the primary one stops receiving messages. I have to toggle back and forth to see if any messages came in on the other line.
its not an eSIM issue because on the past couple of trips, Mrs Samplat and I both purchased eSIMs from the same provider. Her phone worked perfectly fine with both eSIMs active, but mine didn’t.
My guess is it’s some phone config issue but the provider (TMobile) hasn’t been of much help in figuring it out.
