Seeing two IMEI numbers with no EID usually means this is a dual-SIM iPhone model.


What is the iPhone model? Settings > General > About > Model Number, and tap that field to get the A number, and post both the M number and the A number.


Dual SIM iPhone models are sold in China mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao.


Dual SIM iPhone models don't have eSIM.

Hello and welcome to the thread!


Scroll up and read the thread for the quickest info.


For your unfortunately-unspecified iPhone 11 case, what is the iPhone “A” number model? Settings > General > About > Model Number, and tap that same field to get the “A” number, and post the “A” number here.


Here is a list of the “A” model codes: Identify your iPhone model - Apple Support


If this iPhone 12 “A” number is A2223, you have the iPhone 11 dual-SIM model. Which has no eSIM.


For what is likely the same issue discussed in the rest of the thread, you have acquired a dual-SIM iPhone. Dual SIM iPhone models are sold in China mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao (and then grey-market re-sales elsewhere), and these dual SIM iPhone models do not have eSIM.


And no, eSIM cannot be retrofit into these dual-SIM models, either.
