Hi Community,
I have an existing plan with and ID Mobile number with an eSIM. I would like to add a second number to the eSIM - specifically a number from another provider (I have a PAC Code to do this). Can you help please?

Adding a second active number to an eSim?
Best answer by andewhite
You’d need two active eSIM products, each with its own number,
Seamless switching would depend on how the phone handles dual-SIM operation, which varies from phone to phone.
+26Whether using a SIM or eSIM, you can only have one number per SIM / eSIM,
If you have a dual SIM phone, with eSIM capability, you might be able to have a second eSIM (from another provider).
Thanks for the reply, helpful.
The iD Mobile eSIM Support Page https://www.idmobile.co.uk/esim indicates ‘Double Digits - You can have two active numbers and seamlessly switch between them’.
If I were to open a new (second) plan with ID, and used this plan for the old number, could the eSIM recognise both as ‘active numbers’?

+24Hey there
If you wish to buy a second iD Mobile contract with another eSIM, then if your phone is compatible, they should both work on your phone, but only one can be active at anytime.
Thanks,
Tyler
