I am thinking of trying a different wireless provider and don't really want to delete the info on my esim but wanted to make sure a esim can hold more than one, at least two, different wireless provider numbers/info.

Sorry if this is confusing.

You can store more than one eSIM in your iPhone, but you can use only one at a time. To switch eSIMs, tap Settings, tap either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tap the plan you want to use.

This is an often overlooked feature of eSIMs - you could have 10 different eSIM lines, with different use cases, and switch between them as needed. Only one eSIM line can be active at a time, but since switching is easy, you could check 10 lines in 10-20 mins.
