How to make eSim to work on my new iPhone – Guide
Want to transfer your eSIM from one device to another? Struggling to find the instructions? You’re not alone! Here’s how to do it.

Unfortunately, it is unclear whether or not an eSIM can be transferred between iPhones or reused, creating a challenge for those who use an eSIM as their primary phone number while also needing to keep a conventional SIM slot available.
