How Many eSIMs Can I Install and Use at the Same Time?

Content Editor and Customer Support at Textr

Install Multiple eSIMs

If your devices are eSIM compatible, you can install multiple eSIMs at the same time.

For example, you can install eight or more eSIMs on an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR or later models.

And you can install up to five eSIMs on a Google Pixel 3a or later models.

Use More than One eSIM

You may consider how many eSIMs can be used at the same time. The answer depends on your device model. 

iPhone 14 US models

If your iPhone 14 models are purchased from the US, you can use two active eSIMs at the same time.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 models 

Apart from iPhone 14 US models, other iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 models can support two active eSIMs, or a physical SIM and an eSIM, that includes iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini. 

iPhone 12 and other earlier models

For iPhone 12 models, iPhone 11 models, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR,  although they support a physical SIM and an eSIM at the same time, only one eSIM is active at a time. 

Google Pixel 3a and other later models

For Google Pixel 3a or later Pixel phone, you can use one physical SIM and one eSIM. But only one eSIM can be active at a time. 

Although some devices can only support one active eSIM,  when you install multiple eSIMs, you can quickly switch different eSIMs when needed.
