iPhone SE (3rd Gen) / iPhone 13 and above: These iPhones allow you to have two eSIMs active simultaneously, but it does not support the activation of a physical SIM card when both eSIMs are active. While you can add multiple eSIMs to your iPhone SE (3rd Gen), only two of them can be made active at a time due to the device's two IMEIs (International Mobile Equipment Identifiers).


You can have either...

  • 1 Physical SIM and 1 eSIM active or
  • 2 eSIMs active



You can install eight or more eSIMs on an iPhone and use two phone numbers at the same time.
