eSim cards used by a hacker on my iphone

I have a hacker on my iphone12. I know there is at least 1 eSIM card in the phone. Would changing the eSIM card help me rid the phone of him? He has followed me from att, t mobile to Verizon each with a new phone, new number and no data transfer

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hi umptipooh5,


To clarify, what makes you believe your iPhone is being hacked? Is there anything suspicious about your iPhone or connected Apple services?


In general an eSIM would not be a way for your iPhone to be hacked or compromised. However, if someone else has access to your Apple ID info, this may explain how they seem to follow you from device to device if you're using the same account.


If you haven't already, you can reset your Apple ID password as outlined here: Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support


Otherwise, let us know a couple more details of the issues you're facing and we'll continue from there.


Cheers!
