Using eSim

Hello,

I have an Iphone SE with an eSim that I use for work.  My personal phone is an Iphone 16e.  When I am at work I have to carry two phones to stay connected.  Can I set up the eSim on my work phone (Iphone SE) so that it will also receive personal calls.  AND Can this be done at no cost?

This depends on whether your iPhone SE supports dual SIM, whether or not both phones are yours, and how the accounts are structured.

-If the SE doesn't support dual SIM (only the 2nd and 3rd gen phones do) then you can't put a second number onto it.

-If the SE phone belongs to your employer and they are paying for the business line, you cannot have a personal line added to it.  Business accounts and personal accounts are completely separate things in different parts of Verizon.

-Calls can be forwarded from one number to another: Call Forwarding 

If both phones are yours but it's just 2 separate accounts and you are financially responsible for both accounts, one thing you could do is get the work number transferred over to your iPhone 16e either under the Second Number promotion (note that if you use this promo, the second line will be talk/text only), or have a full service second line for the work number on the 16e depending on what types of access you need.

We understand only wanting to carry one phone. You can set up two numbers with one phone (that supports dual sim) and I provided a link with more details on this option. Please respond if you have any other questions. https://www.verizon.com/solutions-and-services/add-ons/mobile/second-number/

I don't think you understand what I am asking.  I already have two existing numbers.  From the description of your second number program I have the perk($) to pay $10 to add a "new" phone number to my cell phone.  I have two numbers and two cell phones.  I was hoping for the convenience of have the ability to accept phone calls going to either number being answerable on one of the phones.  If its not available without addition cost I don't want it.
