A physical SIM can be transferred from a broken to a working phone. [34] The eSIM, which allows communications to be made and charged to the account-holder, cannot be removed if having the phone repaired, or lending it to someone. eSIM accounts must be deleted or transferred from a phone when it is sold or disposed.
The language that is used to describe these specification is a little confusing since eSIM is not a physical format (or "form factor" - the phrase that is used to describe the various SIM sizes). The eSIM describes the functionality in the SIM, not the physical size of the SIM - and there are eSIMs in many formats (2FF, 3FF, 4FF, MFF).

It can be unlocked by entering the PUK code provided by the mobile service provider, [1] which may be available on the SIM card's packaging, the contract, or provided by customer service after identity verification. After the PUK code is entered, the PIN must be ...

Dual SIM standby phones allow both SIMs to be accessed by using time multiplexing. When one SIM is in active use, for example on a call, the modem locks to it, leaving the other SIM unavailable. Older examples of dual-SIM standby phones include the Samsung Galaxy S Duos, [23] the Sony Xperia M2 Dual, [24] and the iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR ...
