eSIM on two devices but active only one at a time

Hello all,

Wondering about something. I currently have an eSIM in my main iPhone but I have a second one as well and I am wondering if it is possible to add the eSIM for my number to that phone so that I have them on both? I would only have one active at a time, although I assume this wouldn't be possible to have both phones active at the same time anyway.

I am aware I can transfer my eSIM over to the other phone but just curious if the above is allowed.

Also, does anybody know if there is a limit to the number of eSIMs that can be stored on the phone? Asking only because I do travel frequently to certain destinations and have SIMs that I swap out when I go but given we are about to likely get an iPhone in Europe that is eSIM only, it would be impossible to do this so if I could set multiple eSIMs up and then switch on when in the respective country, that would be perfect (again, I know I can only have two active at a time).

@paladxn No it’s not possible just like you can only have one sim with your number on it.
You’ll have to setup your other phone each time from scratch to transfer the eSim over for your number. But please read THIS about the number of eSims you can have on your device.
