Each line is individually labeled to differentiate between numbers. These labels can be customized and may vary depending on the operating system and active carrier.
Both lines can be connected to the network at all times. While on a call using one line, the other line is on standby. If you receive a call on the other line while on a call using the first line, the incoming call will go to voicemail.
Both lines can access mobile data, but only one line can access mobile data at any given time to prevent duplicate charges. Your usage will reflect the line that you have selected to be used as the default at any given time. The default line can be changed in your phone settings.
To move one of your phone numbers to an eSIM, please contact our customer support at [email protected] and request an eSIM. Our customer support will help you set up your existing number on an eSIM.

You can delete your eSIM profile by going to your phone’s network/cellular settings and locating the line (eSIM profile) you want to delete. Quick note: When you delete your eSIM profile, you don’t cancel the line on the network, so you’ll continue to be billed.
No, once an eSIM profile is deleted from the phone, you can’t scan the same eSIM QR code into another phone. An eSIM QR code can be used and scanned only once. You’ll need to purchase an eSIM QR code from our website or contact our customer support at [email protected]
Note: CanadianSIM is not responsible for loss of carrier service as a result of an eSIM download wipe performed on any non-CanadianSIM eSIM. If your phone’s eSIM line is currently active with a carrier other than CanadianSIM, you are responsible for obtaining and activating a new eSIM card from the carrier. You are responsible for any charges that your carrier may apply for a replacement eSIM card.
