Can i switch from eSIM to physical SIM?


I have an eSIM with id, all working great.

 

I am going to Canada for 3 weeks - which isn't on the id roaming list.

I would like to get a travel eSIM to use for 3 weeks whilst I am away (eSIMs seem to be easiest option for travel) but my phone only supports one eSIM.

Can I request my id phone number be switched to a physical SIM so that I can get another SIM whilst I am out the country.

Thanks for your help.

Yes you can. You can order one to be posted but pretty sure your existing SIM will immediately be cut off. Or you can goto your nearest Curry’s store with photo ID and get one there.
