Is there an easy way to switch back and forth between an eSim iPhone and a dumb phone?

I’ve been dumbphoning since March 2023, but my wife isn’t 100% on board. She has shown some interest in going dumb for certain outings though.

Unfortunately, she has an iPhone 14 Pro which (in the US at least) is eSIM only. I looked into Verizon’s numbershare, and picked up a Palm phone, but in addition to being a complete piece of trash, it’s also not entirely dumb.

Is there a method for switching Verizon accounts from eSIM to physical SIM or temporarily forwarding all calls/texts to a new number easily? Like the kind of thing that might be as quick as physically swapping a SIM?

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called “dumbphones” or “feature phones” in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

Don’t be rude to others.
Don’t harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D
