Adding additional e-sim to carrier locked phone wile traveling.

My iphone 14 is carrier locked. Does this mean it is not possible to add an additional e-sim while traveling? I am not trying to replace my original sim carrier, just adding an additional international data plan while I am gone.

iPhone 14 Pro

Unless the 2nd eSIM is from your same carrier, it will not work.


Any multi-SIM phone must be carrier unlocked to use another carrier’s SIM.

Since your iPhone 14 is carrier locked, you can only add additional eSIMs from the same carrier that it is locked to. You have stated that you will be traveling internationally and have the desire to add a foreign eSIM. This can be done but only if your carrier allows it. Contact your carrier and tell them that you will be traveling and would like to use a foreign eSIM while traveling. Most carriers will allow that and unlock your iPhone so that you can do so.
