? Device-Specific eSIM Limits

Device	Max Stored eSIMs	Max Active eSIMs	Notes
iPhone 15 Series	8+	2	Dual eSIM (no physical SIM needed)
iPhone 14/13 Series	8+	2	Dual eSIM or 1 physical + 1 eSIM
Older iPhones	5-8	1	1 physical SIM + 1 eSIM
Samsung Galaxy S23	1	1	1 eSIM + 1 physical SIM
Google Pixel 8	5-10	2	Dual eSIM or hybrid setup
Other Android Devices	Varies (1-10)	1-2	Check manufacturer specs

? Key Differences

✔ Stored eSIMs – You can keep multiple eSIM profiles saved (e.g., for travel or work), but only 1-2 can be active at once.
✔ Dual-SIM Functionality – Some phones allow:

1 eSIM + 1 physical SIM (common in older iPhones & Androids)
2 active eSIMs (newer iPhones & select Androids like Pixel)

⚠ Important Notes

Data-only eSIMs don’t affect call/SIM limits (you can use them alongside a voice-enabled SIM).
Switching eSIMs is manual—you must enable/disable them in settings.
Carrier restrictions may apply (some lock eSIMs to one device).
