Inserting a SIM card and microSD card

There are two types of models: an eSIM-supported model and a model into which two nano SIM cards can be inserted.

  • XQ-EC54: You can use one nano SIM card, one eSIM, and one microSD card. (Only one nano SIM card can be inserted.) You can use the device as a dual SIM device by inserting a nano SIM card and configuring an eSIM.

  • XQ-EC72: You can use either two nano SIM cards or one nano SIM card and one microSD card. (eSIMs are not supported.)
