E-Sim Questions

[makkahn28]

In regards with E-Sims, if Phone Only has E-Sim, & Only One E-Sim Slot, how does one swap for another W/O Losing the E-Sim for Home Plan?

@ATHENS eSIM is provider specific.  But iPhone can install multiple eSIM profile (different providers) and you can select one active eSim profile to use

To activate eSIM with PM, download the app on the phone and follow the steps

Please note that eSIM activation is still new at the moment, you can only install the eSIM for PM on the phone you activate.  If you have a new phone later, that new phone has to change back to physical sim.  This will be charged, ie, you can have eSIM on the new phone for an existing line, but we don't know when that will come

And someone jsut said look like there is a problem with eSIM on iPhone for PM at this time

So, I suggest you to hold on if you are ok styaing with physical sim and don't need eSIM at the moment

I did also have this to ask

For E-Sim, though the Older CDMA2000 is different, Does the E-Sim Operate almost similarly as the CDMA2000?

@makkahn28 

depends on the phone. iPhone 14 supports up to 8 esims and dual active esims

I think most anrdoid supports only one active esim but can store multiple esim profiless

But there are older phones that can still just one esim profile too

@softech Just to confirm

Is there a Limit of How Many E-Sims a Phone might be able to store?

 phone will keep more than 1 esim profile and you can switch between provider when needed
