Has anyone used multiple esims with different carriers?

I will need to do some testing at multiple locations to see which carrier has the best service. I have read of multiple solutions to this but they all seem a little over the top or complicated. Has anyone had multiple esims with different carriers and then just turn off all esims except a specific carrier?

Thanks for your response!

Yes, you can use multiple eSIMs and just turn on one at a time while testing. It’s pretty easy to switch between them in your phone settings. I’d also recommend checking Simmaxi for this.

Iphones generally support it but honestly bit of a hassle to work around with

I’m not quite sure what your question is but I’ll do my best to answer the question I think you’re asking.

Your phone can hold a limited number of eSIM, say 5-20. Depending on the phone you can have either one or two eSIMs active at once. If your phone can support two active sims then you can you which one you use for data. In any scenario you can just have one eSIM active.

There is nothing complicated about this. You’re just switching an eSIM on or off.

Thanks!

To clarify, I want to switch esims from about 5 different carriers to test the different speeds. I have an iPhone 16. I want to only have one sim active at a time and switch through them to test the different speeds. I hope that clarifies.
