Looks like it’s time to carry a dummy phone with you if you decide to visit the US. Not really sure why any non-citizens would want to do that at this point though.

Interestingly, iOS 27 has a new “2 phones can share 1 number and you can swap between them” which didn’t seem to make a lot of sense.

But The Apple documentation (support.apple.com/en-us/127274) mentions that your iCloud gets synced between both devices, so now I’m confused what the purpose of this is

Dang, I had other ideas!
What you need:
Two devices running iOS 27 or later that are: Connected to Wi-Fi Sharing the same Apple Account Using Messages in iCloud to ensure messages sync Signed into FaceTime and iMessage with the same Apple Account An eSIM from a carrier that supports iPhone Handoff: USA: T-Mobile Germany: Telekom
