If phones switch to only esims will phones be able to use multiple esims.
- I have 3 eSIMs registered on my Pixel 7 Pro at the moment, works fine.

  I've got a P7 pro but with only one line, if you have multiple esims can you have two lines without a physical SIM or are one of them required to be physical?
- My phone (galaxy s21 ultra) already supports multiple eSims.
  
  Okay that's good to know that phones can support multiple esims. Thanks for letting me know.

Good news; a true necessity if eSIM is to be consumer friendly.
