My existing local phone number is an eSIM line. Can I still use this eSIM together with my local eSIM phone number?

Phones have the capability to install multiple eSIM profiles, but their active use is limited to just one (1) or a maximum of two (2) eSIMs concurrently. For instance, Samsung phones that support eSIM functionality can utilize just one (1) eSIM at a time, in addition to one (1) physical SIM card.
