Convert to eSIM option showing as option on iPhone

[MarkPit_1592564]

I've got an iPhone XR running iOS 18.1.1 with a Smarty SIM and noticed for the first time there is now an option showing as:

"Convert  to eSIM". (This is under Settings, Mobile Service)

Has anyone actually tried this and succeeded?

I don't actually want to do it with this specific SIM, but if the method works I would consider getting an additional SIM and converting it to eSIM.

I had always read that Smarty don't support eSIMs, so not sure if that has changed, or if this is some Apple/iPhone wizadry, or if it just wouldn't work at all...

@MarkPit_1592564 Currently, Smarty does not support Esim. You can certainly successfully add other Esims to an iPhone quite easily. I have one that I use when outside EU and therefore unable torah with my Smarty plan.

I don't suppose there's anything to stop you getting a second sim from another network, converting it to Esim if they accept that, and then putting your smarty sim back into the tray again.
