What happens to your physical SIM when you switch to an eSIM?

Your full service - including your phone number, plan, and any remaining balance - is transferred across to the eSIM. Because eSIMs are tied to a single device, youll need to complete a SIM swap each time you change or upgrade your phone in the future
