Couple of question is can I covert my current sim to an e-sim?
Is there away for me to turn it off when I go abroad?
And if I was ever to leave EE can I retrieve my old number for example using a puk code?

@Abusuhan You can only have use the eSim if your a contract customer PAYG is not supported. When you say turn it off do you want to use a local SIM card ? If you don’t just enable airplane mode on the device.
and yes you can still get a pac code to move the number to a different network.
