Greetings jkhemka12,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious how to turn off the Primary line of service which is associated with your iPhone using Dual SIM.

The following support article provides helpful suggestions for managing your lines of service using Dual SIM: Using Dual SIM with an eSIM

Specifically, the following section will show you how to turn off the Primary line:

Manage cellular settings

To change your cellular settings for each of your plans, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Cellular.
  2. Tap the number you want to change.
  3. Tap each option and set it as you normally would.

Additionally, the following section will show you how to remove the cellular plan from your iPhone:

Erase your eSIM

If you need to erase your eSIM, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Cellular.
  2. Tap the plan you want to erase.
  3. Tap Remove Cellular Plan.

If you want to cancel your cellular plan, you still need to contact your carrier.


Let me know how it goes from here.

Kind regards.
