According to T-Mobile, during the trial, your primary number will remain active for calls and texts, but you also can use a temporary number instead, if you prefer.
T-Mobile recommends that you set your primary web link provider as your default line, but you’re able to always change the setting later.
Once the trial ends the eSIM profile will be deactivated and you’ll be switched back to your original provider.
eSIMs make it possible for users to create multiple SIM profiles that they can download and switch between at will, without the need to physically change their smartphone’s SIM card.
