Dual eSIM on iPhone 14
Does anyone know, definitively, if one can have two TMobile lines on an iPhone 14? Today, I have an iPhone with a physical SIM and and eSIM. Both are TMobile lines - what Apple calls "cellular plans"...
Well, short answer - it does work. My current iPhone 14 Pro (purchased at Apple) is using two eSims
Long answer - it took two hours on phone with high level tech support. The key seems to be making sure Cellular Data is turned OFF on the phone.
That, and considerable patience and tenacity
¡Buena suerte!

The iPhone 14 supports up to 6 saved eSIM's, but only 2 can be active at one time. Both eSIM's can be t-mobile. Unfortunately, the folks in the store are not very knowledgable. There's a strong chance that if you do anything in a store, they are going to charge you $35 a line anyway.
You can active an eSIM on your phone using a QR code. You always have the option of calling 611 and asking them to send you the QR code for the eSIM setup.
Once you get the QR code, go to Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR
One more thing - when they send you the QR code, you can either print it out or display it on another device. You'll need to use the camera to scan the code….which means you can do it on the same device that you're trying to add the eSIM on. At least I haven't found a way...
