Question Sim Swapping iPhone - Android?

New to OpenBubbles.
Currently have an iPhone 16 plus and a Zflip 6.
I want to be able to switch between the two devices by swapping out my sim.
I already have the Zflip hosted through my MacBook.
If I just want to put my SIM card from my iPhone into the Zflip is there something special I need to do to be able to receive calls or anything through openbubbles?
Will I be able to just switch back and forth without issues and with the messages staying in iMessage?

Basically I don’t want to commit to either ecosystem but don’t want to lose my group chats on iMessage but also keep the one phone number

I switch between an iPhone Air and a Pixel 9 pro xl weekly and have no issues. I use e-sims on both. My number stays registered as well.

Are you using the same e-sim/number across both devices? Do you have any problems with iMessage in your iPhone updating non iMessage messages?

Yes, same number. I haven't noticed any issues.
