Of course a previously activated and deactivated SIM card can't be re-used, but nothing in the first posts actually states that is was previously used. I am only saying that a physical SIM card can be moved around from device to device as desired. This thread was reconstructed and extracted from mutliple threads, and it's difficult to know what the OP is actually asking.

That’s was I thought- my google search confirms this —-Once a SIM card is deactivated. It is no longer usable. SIM cards are single activation only.

If you HAD service with PM and then cancelled it, account was deleted, then old sim is deactivated and cannot be used anymore, ever.
If you replace physical SIM with eSIM then physical SIM is deactivated and cannot be used anymore, ever.

@Wayworn I'm pretty sure in this case the old physical SIM card is no longer usable since the eSIM has replaced it. SIM cards are a one-time use. Yes you can move them into another phone but once it's been replaced with another SIM card or eSIM that's it, it's done
The way I'm reading the original post, it sounds like the OP wants to know if they can have 2 device sharing the same number by virtue of one device having the eSIM and the 2nd device using the old (original) SIM card that was on the account, which cannot be done

Are you sure???????
According to a google search I found the following——-> Once a SIM card is deactivated. It is no longer usable. SIM cards are single activation only.

If the eSIM and SIM are on the same account then no.
When you transfer over to eSIM it will not work.

The physical SIM card would be usable in any compatible device.
