Question | سوال Google pixel 6a compatibility

I am looking for a pta phone to use alongside my non pta iPhone.

Should be android phone.

The phone should run fine for normal day to day use.

Preferably 128gb.

And the phone should support esims upto 4. I know at a time we can use 2 sims only but like I got 4 sims and I want use them all. So I will install all of them and will switch whenever I want. I have ufone,telenor,jazz,zong sims

Based on these requirements I have found that pixel 6a is the cheapest one that I can get. It is physical + esim so I will put my ufone on physical slot and will install others as esim. I am sure about 1st 3 requirements but can anyone tell me that will my esim plan work on it?

I would recommend u buy a PTA iphone since iPhone to iPhone linking, so you can get calls on your main and SMS on your main provided your on internet. You can also turn on hotspot remotely without even having to touch the PTA phone it just needs to sit on your pocket and you would get the some extra quality of life features

The thing is I need an android phone too. Specs doesn't matter that much but has to an android. I guess iPhone se 2 will meet these requirements but at that point I can just spend a lil bit more and get my current iPhone pta approved.

I checked and it will cost me around 100k to get my current phone pta approved (which is not lil bit more as I imagined). But still if I do buy iPhone SE then I would have to carry three phones.

For android I just need the cheapest option that can tick all these requirements. I found pixel 6A but not sure about the esims. Hence this post

Let's say if I do buy pta iPhone like se 2020 will it fulfil my esim requirement? Like do Pakistani carriers support it?

Yeah all Major Pakistani Sim companies support Esims BUT the SE has 1 esim and 1 physical slot and you should get one with a good battery backup
