When transferring old phone to new, and activate the eSIM card will I no longer be able to make calls on the old phone?

iPhone 11, iOS 17
Well, it's not as clear cut.
Technically if your carrier disables your SIM card, your old iPhone won't directly be able to place calls or send messages, but if you have Continuity enabled and "Calls on other devices" turned on, your old iPhone can use the service on the new iPhone to make calls and send messages if both are logged in to the same Apple account.

That's right. Just like if you moved a physical SIM from one phone to another.
Unfortunately, the moderators retitled your post making it read exactly the opposite of your original question where a yes/no answer is concerned.
