Can I get a new eSIM for my iPhone if the current service was turned off?
So if my mother decides to turn my phone off can I go and buy another Esim ?

What happens depends greatly on the details of the situation.
If your iPhone is associated with a different Apple ID not yours, it can be remotely locked.
If your carrier plan is cancelled, you can acquire a second SIM or eSIM.
if the iPhone is locked to a carrier, the SIM or eSIM must be from that carrier, or the iPhone must be carrier-unlocked.
If the iPhone is reported lost or stolen and the IMEI gets blacklisted, the iPhone will not be useable.

I was under her plan because I would send my portion of the phone bill to her and she pays it but we got into a dispute today and she said my phone will be turning off … couple hours later my phone service turns off and it’s says SOS at the top can I go and get another Esim ?
Probably. See above.
Carrier Lock might restrict your choice of carrier, if this iPhone is carrier locked. See my reply above.
And if this iPhone is associated with a different Apple ID, it can be bricked. See above.
I am not sure I understand what you are asking. You have your carrier provision an esim on your phone. If your phone is on a plan from a carrier and she is the one paying for it, then she has the option to cancel the plan. Please clarify what is happening here.
Okay so she told me my phone will be off by the end of the week but I’m assuming she turned it off immediately because I don’t have service anymore it says SOS at the top I’m here asking if I can go get another Esim on my own and basically turn my phone back on

It’s definitely not a blacklisted phone , and this is my Apple ID I don’t share it and with carrier lock would I be able to go to T-Mobile then ? And I read the options I appreciate your help
If T-Mobile is holding the carrier lock, they would be your only choice of carrier.
Check with T-Mobile and learn if they are willing to sell you a plan.
