Digital Sim Card ?

I received my iPhone from US Cellular, who uses a Digital Sim Card.

Would you know why the IMEI on the iPhone is different on the Digital Sim Card ?

Your iPhone XR has both a physical SIM slot and the programmable eSIM. When you set up a line on each, they each have their own uniquely assigned IMEI, since a single IMEI could not simultaneously connect to two networks.

Hi Goalposts,


Thanks for the post. If I understand correctly, you have a question about an eSim.


Can you provide a little more detail about what you're seeing? Are you seeing a different IMEI in Settings > About as compared to the one marked on your device, or is something else happening?


While more details might point to specific information, this is a great general starting point with information about Using Dual SIM with an eSIM. Check it out to see if this has an answer to your question.


I hope this helps get you started. Take care.
