No, but it'll disable data on your other line. Otherwise there's a feature that makes the phone use the data plan of the line currently being used for a phone call, then flip back to the main one when the call is over.
Got a tip for us?

Oh I know that...but is it fixed to the carriers needs lolThe eSIM bug was fixable by removing the physical SIM and putting it back
I have a Verizon sim and an AT&T esim. My Verizon and AT&T lines are both receiving LTE. No issues whatsoever.

I are lucky cause as of today they no longer selling the Esims till December as far as I know, was with a friend at ATT store and they said they got the letter today, to stop selling Esims
They said (except for in that most recent article post) that the issue occurs when the Verizon line is set as the “secondary” phone line.
I got my AT&T eSIM. An internal AT&T memo went out yesterday advising all AT&T employees to NOT hand out eSIM cards as they are not compatible yet. You might not have much luck unless you encounter one that hasn't read the memo. But rocking an AT&T eSIM and a Vodafone.de Prepaid SIM.
Lies. I activated my eSIM today. Worked just fine. Both lines are now active.
Maybe it was just that one person. I’ll give it another go with someone else, thanks.
You have to go in store, and try not to mention your iPhone. Just tell them you want to move your sim to an esim, and show them a picture of it. Worked for me.
It’s likely going to be everyone after today. With the memo that went out, all AT&T employees have explicit instructions not to hand out QR cards. So you will be hard pressed to find one that will give you an esim card. In addition to that. I may have discovered an issue where Personal Hotspot fails to connect. Need to do more testing first.
For the ones that got in on it before they stopped providing eSIMs, did any of you add more than one eSIM to your phone? I’m curious to see the user interface for choosing a stored eSIM.
This is perfect TMobile let's me text internationally. But data can sometimes be slow so second line for data will help. I use physical sim data chip can I default e sim to primary voice and text and data chip for just the data primary?
Very informative thread!
I have esim for my personal/primary account and real sim for work.
How do I send a SMS using my work line?
I’m finding this almost impossible.
I was roaming in Turkey the other day and wanted to send an SMS from my work line but no matter what I did when I sent a message it was coming from my personal line and I was being charged to send roaming a SMS.
Apple say in messages press the icon (top right) to create a new message then select the line to send it from. Problem if if you already have a conversation with a person when you press icon to create a new message then enter the recipient’s name it opens up the current thread and you can’t then select the line to use.
Such a simple process is so complex.
Can anybody do what I’m asking?
