Dual-SIM phones or eSIM + physical SIM combinations work well. Many people keep their home number on eSIM or WiFi calling and use a local physical SIM for data and local calls. For business use, some opt for a local postpaid connection for better support and reliability. Test everything (including WiFi calling and international connectivity) when you arrive. Having a backup data option (second SIM or pocket WiFi) provides peace of mind for important calls. Most modern phones handle multiple numbers smoothly.
The combination of local data SIM + home number on eSIM or WiFi calling is very common now and works reliably for most people.
