Yes! Many FlexiFone users choose to use their SIM as a secondary line, mainly for mobile data. This is a great option if you want a reliable backup connection, need to improve coverage, or simply want to separate personal calls from data usage.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
You can insert your FlexiFone SIM into your phone as a second SIM and dedicate it specifically to mobile data. Most modern smartphones support Dual SIM functionality and include a Mobile Data Switching feature.
With Mobile Data Switching enabled, your device will automatically select between your primary SIM and your FlexiFone secondary SIM depending on which one offers the best network coverage and data speeds at the time.
This ensures you always stay connected, even if your main SIM has poor coverage or drops its signal.
🌟 Why Use FlexiFone for Data?
Here are some of the top reasons why customers use FlexiFone as their data-only SIM:
📡 Reliable backup data line: Stay connected even if your main network goes down.
📶 Improved coverage: Fill in signal gaps when your primary network has weak reception.
🌍 Access to multiple UK networks: FlexiFone SIMs roam across several UK carriers, ensuring you always have the strongest possible connection.
🔓 No long-term contracts: Flexibility to use FlexiFone when and how you need it, without being locked in.
💼 Great for work or travel: Keep one SIM for personal use and another for business, or use FlexiFone as a travel-friendly data SIM.
📌 Extra Tips
Ensure Mobile Data Switching is turned on in your phone’s settings for the best experience.
On iPhone, go to Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Switching.
On Android, go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIM Manager (or Mobile Network) and enable Dual SIM data switching.
If you stream, hotspot, or travel often, FlexiFone can act as your reliable backup SIM while keeping your main number active.
