Ive tried googling this but I dont quite understand some of the lingo and a search here wasn't very clear (to me)

Is is possible to setup an iphone 12 with two different carriers? i.e esim with spark and nano sim with vodafone?

I've started a new job who are with vodafone and they have given me a phone with a new number which I have to used as it's tied to documents but managing two phones is a royal PITA so they have agreed to buy me an iphone 12 if this setup is possible

Cheers

Yes you can have a spark esim and a vodafone sim at the same time.

It's definitely possible - I have my work SIM (Vodafone) and personal eSIM (Spark) in my iPhone. Works really well. Be aware of the limitations of eSIM, things like calls coming in will cause the data to drop on the other line etc.
