How do I add a second line to iPhone?

[Anerkons]

We have two PM accounts on separate phones.  I would like to transfer  by eSIM one number to  the phone.that already has a pm account. In other words have both PM numbers on one phone.  Before I purchase an eSIM would like to have step by step instructions on how to do this.

Correct.  It is fairly simple process.

hi @Anerkons 

yes, you can do that... but which iPhone do you have? some iPhone (older one) can only hvae 1 physical and 1 eSIM both active at the same time .  Only the newer iPhone can have 2 eSIM active at the same time

to install a 2nd line on your iPhone, just use PM app to login your second line, go to Account and click Purchase sim card and buy esim and let the app install it for you

after installed, go to Settings, Cellular screen and you have to manage the 2 PM sim.  Both PM sim should have "Turn on this line" enabled.    One with label Primary and the other with lable Work or so (but don't set label Travel)
