Obtain an additonal number via eSIM

How do I obtain an EE eSIM to use as an additonal, but not main number for my iPhone SE 2022?

Hi @bayanne 

You would need to take out another SIM only plan then convert that to an esim. Although I believe your esim would default to the main sim on iPhones @Chris_B might be able to confirm.

@bayanne  As @Northerner  says you need to take out a 2nd line on account  ( sim only ). once you get that sim you swap it with the one in your device and activate it and then once activated you can convert that to the eSim, once it’s been switched to the eSim you can put your original sim back in your device.  The new line will be the eSim and your existing contract I will be on the physical SIM card in your device
