Can I use 3 active eSIMs on iPhone 16 Pro Max?

I use 2 active ESIMs at the same time. I was just wondering can I add another esim for a total of 3 while keeping 2 of them active and changing one of them from the OS accordingly? Does the inactive e-sim calls goto voice mail? does the messages que then when I switch to make active sent to phone? no cell carrier can even answer this question whatsoever thanks

great article, I currently use 2 esims with 2 different carriers flawlessly the crux of my question what happens to the 3 un-active esim phone calls/messages? do the callers get V/M or number not in service? do the messages que up and are sent with that esim becomes active? thanks

I can't answer your question as I only use 1 eSim on my phone. My guess would be they'd go to voicemail. You could try it yourself, by making an active eSim unactive, then call that number and see if you get voicemail, leave a message, then reactivate the eSim and see if the voicemail comes through.
