To be clear… All iPhones have SIMs or eSIMs. None are free of any SIM. I suspect you mean “carrier unlocked”.


If your iPhone is purchased unlocked, or is unlocked by the carrier holding the lock, and both carriers support your device on their networks, yes.


If your device is carrier-locked, you’ll have to get the carrier holding the lock to release it.

If you have a dual-SIM model (SIM and eSIM, in most of the world), and one of the carriers supprts eSIM, you can have both loaded and can select the carrier without swapping a SIM card.

Verizon Wireless reportedly does support eSIM.

You’ll want to confirm this with your carriers.
