Can I use wi-fi only for Verizon when traveling ? But use my second eSIM

Question

A similar question was answered in 2016. But, new phones with dual SIMs need a new answer.

I have a new #iPhone 14 Pro and will be taking an overseas trip. I have a Verizon eSIM and a local eSIM.  Right now, both SIMs are active

When overseas, I would like to force the Verizon eSIM into WiFi only mode for both voice and data. In that way, I can avoid roaming charges. Yet, while in WiFi at the hotel, I can check for messages and return calls.

However, I do not want to put the phone into airplane mode.  I want to use the second, local, eSIM on the local network.

You used to be able to turn off voice roaming, but I do not see the option. I do see the data roaming toggle.

So, is there a way to turn off data AND voice roaming for the Verizon eSIM -- which would put it into WiFi only mode? Yet, the second SIM is still active.

Thank you.
