Transferring phone number, changing phones & plan.

[Cph]

I set up a Public Mobile plan and paid for it. 
My Canadian phone number is with Virgin Plus on my galaxy phone.  
My iPhone (with an eSIM) has my USA number and cell phone plan with T-Mobile.

I am trying to transfer my Canadian phone number to my iPhone with the eSIM and, hopefully, my Public Mobile’s plan.  HELP!  Please!!!

Once you cancel the account with T-Mobile. Remove the SIM or delete the eSIM before porting over to the iPhone from Virgin Plus.

My iPhone 16 is unlocked.

I'm not keeping the T-Mobile number on my primary phone (iPhone 16).

If your iPhone is with T-Mobile, it will need to be unlocked so that it can work with another carrier

@Cph , iPhones can accommodate a crazy number of e-SIMs, something like up to 8.  However, only 2 can be active at any given time.  So you should be able to run your US service along side a Public Mobile service.  This help article covers how to subscribe and transfer a number from another carrier brand.

Yes but it depends if you are keeping the T-Mobile number on the primary number?

You can porting it over to the secondary eSIM if it has 2 IMEIs’ on your iPhone. Like the new iPhone 17 with eSIM only but not the older iPhones with SIM & eSIM.

What model is your iPhone?
