How to Manage eSIM Settings on iPhone

Managing your mobile lines on an iPhone has become simpler and more powerful thanks to Apple’s updated eSIM features. Whether you're adding a new line, switching between SIM profiles, or using a travel eSIM from Figabytes (https://figabytes.com), your iPhone gives you full control over your connectivity.

Here's a clear guide on how to view, manage, and customize your eSIM settings.


📱 Where to Access Your eSIM Settings

You can manage all SIM profiles from one place:

Settings → Mobile Service / Mobile Data

This page shows:

  • All active eSIM plans

  • Labels for each line

  • Data usage

  • Roaming settings

  • Network options

You can tap any eSIM to edit or customize its behavior.


🔁 Switching Between eSIM Lines

If you have multiple eSIMs (for example, your home SIM + a Figabytes travel eSIM):

  1. Go to Settings → Mobile Data

  2. Tap Mobile Data Line

  3. Select the eSIM you want to use for data

Your iPhone switches instantly without restarting.

For calls and SMS, you can choose a different default line, or let your iPhone automatically pick the right one based on your last usage.


🌍 Managing a Travel eSIM (Figabytes)

If you're traveling internationally:

1. Turn ON Data Roaming

Settings → Mobile Data → Your Figabytes eSIM → Data Roaming ON

2. Set Figabytes as Your Data Line

Your device will use your Figabytes plan for internet while keeping your home line active for calls/WhatsApp.

3. View Coverage Information

Your eSIM page will show your network connection status and the carrier you are currently using.

4. Add or Delete eSIMs

You can remove unneeded eSIMs from the same menu.
Note: Travel eSIMs cannot be restored after deletion — contact Figabytes if you need a replacement.

🛠️ Customize Each eSIM Line

Inside each eSIM profile, you can adjust:

• Network Selection

Automatic or manual — helpful if you want to choose a specific local carrier.

• Data Mode

Choose 5G Auto, 5G On, or LTE for better battery or coverage.

• Labeling

Rename lines (e.g., “Home,” “Work,” “Figabytes Travel”) for easier switching.

• Data Usage Tracking

See how much data you’ve used per line.

• Turn Line On/Off

Deactivate a line temporarily without deleting it.


🔐 SIM PIN & Security

You can set or remove a SIM PIN to protect your mobile plan from unauthorized use:

Settings → Mobile Data → SIM PIN

This applies to eSIMs as well.


🔄 Removing or Re-adding an eSIM

If you need to remove an eSIM:

  1. Go to Settings → Mobile Data

  2. Select the eSIM

  3. Tap Delete eSIM

For travel eSIMs like Figabytes, deletion cannot be undone — you would need a replacement activation.


💡 Final Thoughts

iPhones give users complete flexibility with eSIM management. Whether you’re switching profiles, controlling roaming, or using a digital travel plan through Figabytes, managing your mobile connectivity is now easier and more secure than ever.
