However, iPhone has never had space for an internal second SIM card unlike its rivals, so using dual-SIM requires you to buy hardware.
One Bluetooth dual-SIM card adapter compatible with iPhone is the NeeCoo Magic Card. It syncs a second Micro SIM card to your iPhone. You can call, message and take photos from the second Micro SIM. It connects to your iPhone Bluetooth up to 10 metres away.
To do this you need to download the MoreCard app free from the App Store first.
The NeeCoo Magic Card can be bough from Gear Best for £29.99, with free shipping to the UK.
