eSim and Reuse question

If I activate an eSim and later on reset the phone with option to not retain the activation, will I end up with 8 eSims again or 7? Physical sims cannot be re-used between carriers so they are mostly dumped if changing carriers. do eSIMs allow a reset??

Again as an example: - I use 3 eSims during the course of my use, I factory reset after 3 years removing any plans on the phone and sell the phone, would the next user have 8 eSims again available to him or her or 7 please?

Hello, anupfromcary.

This article explains how eSIMs work: About eSIM on iPhone - Apple Support. Some carriers may assign an eSIM to a iPhone; others may set up a new eSIM for a iPhone when it is used.

For specific questions about how wireless carriers handle multiple SIM requests on a device, we would suggest reaching out to the carrier you wish to inquire about the policies for how that is done with them. That's not something created by Apple.

Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
