Unlocking second sim possible?
Is it possible to unlock the second sim on an iPhone 14? I am looking for a second phone number with no data and T-Mobile doesn't offer a resonable plan. DIGITS won't work because I have no data serv...
The device needs to be SIM unlocked to use the second eSIM with a different provider. You can use the second eSIM with another T-Mobile line. To qualify for a SIM unlock, your account and device must both meet all of the SIM Unlock Policy requirements.

Yes and no. Buying an iPhone from an Apple store on a carrier linked EIP gets you a device that SIM locks to the first SIM/eSIM you put in the device. Apple, like Samaung, does have a specific model that is sold SIM unlocked that won't SIM lock regardless of what SIM's/eSIM's you use but those usually cost more and you need to specify that is what you specifically want.
