And that’s it! You’ve successfully removed an eSIM from your iPhone.

Remember that by removing the eSIM, you’re also removing the cellular plan associated with it, which means your phone will no longer have access to cellular data or voice services through that plan. If you need to use the plan again in the future, you would need to re-add the eSIM.

Be aware that eSIMs work differently than traditional SIM cards. While removing a traditional SIM card simply requires physically ejecting the card, eSIMs are entirely digital, which means they need to be managed through the device’s settings.

This can be an advantage, as it allows for easier switching between plans and carriers, but it also means you need to be careful when managing your eSIMs to ensure you don’t accidentally remove a plan that you still need.

Now that you understand how to remove an eSIM from your iPhone, you can manage your cellular plans with greater confidence. Whether you’re switching carriers, or just need to clean up unused plans, the ability to manage your eSIM is a vital part of using your iPhone to its fullest potential.
