iPhone 11 Pro and eSIM: what to know

Yes, the iPhone 11 Pro supports eSIM. It pairs a physical nano-SIM with an eSIM (Dual SIM), so you can keep your home line and add a travel plan. You can store several eSIM profiles on the phone, but only one eSIM is active at a time alongside your physical SIM.

Where to add it: go to Settings > Mobile Data (or Cellular) > Add eSIM, then scan the QR code or enter the details manually.
Find your EID: open Settings > General > About and scroll down to the EID, then tap and hold to copy it.
Keep your main number: in Mobile Data settings, set your home line for calls and messages and the travel eSIM for Mobile Data only. Turn on Data Roaming for the travel line.
Travel tip: label each line (for example "Travel") so you never mix them up, and install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before leaving.

With an eSIM Prime travel eSIM, install the profile before your trip and switch it on when you land. Your main number stays reachable, so WhatsApp and calls keep working as usual.
