E sims and International travel

I plan to travel overseas and want to get a physical sim in the overseas number but have my Canadian number in an e-sim. Can I turn the Canadian number off while I am overseas, so I don't incur roaming fees?

eSIM vs Physical SIM internationally When I travel overseas with my iPhone 13 Pro, I often buy a local SIM card as it is usually much less expensive than my US carrier’s “International “ plan. Will I still be able to do this with an IPhone 14 Pro and it’s eSIM?

Very Worried About The New eSIM feature on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and Traveling Internationally I am very worried about the new eSIM feature on the iPhone 14 Pro Max as I travel a lot internationally and usually buy a traditional SIM card in each country that I go to and pop it into my iPhone. With my upcoming trip to Iceland, I am very worried that if I buy the new iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Mobile Carriers in Iceland do not support the eSIM technology and still use the traditional SIM cards. How do I resolve this if the new iPhone 14 Pro Max does not have the traditional SIM card tray and Mobile Carriers do not offer eSIM?
