We are regular T-Mobile customers (not post-pay/pre-pay) with 4 phone lines.  We have iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max.  Is it possibly to change all physical SIM to eSIM?  Although T-mobile Data covers international but it is EXTREMELY slow.  It will be better to purchase a local SIM for data use.  Since iPhone in the US market don’t provide dual SIM caddy, it will be painful to reject the T-Mobile SIM and keep it in safe place while traveling.

Actually, it is very easy to switch from hard SIM to eSIM.  I logged on to my Tmobile account, select profile and choose the phone that want it for eSIM.  Enter my EID number.  Tmobile generated a barcode that for me to add to the phone.  After activation, the old hard SIM is no longer working.  It is quite simply.

By the way, your plan is either postpaid or prepaid, there is no other “regular” option. Traditional cellular plans are almost always postpaid. T-Mobile customer service can clarify for you.

Reviewed but doesn’t seem to be working!  It requires activation code and/or confirmation code.  This cannot be a self-transfer, it requires to have T-Mobile customer suport for help may be.
