When it’s time to replace your cell phone or upgrade to a new model:

• Check your old phone to find out if it has a physical SIM card, uses an eSIM, or both.
• If the device you are replacing uses an eSIM, wipe all data from the eSIM profile before
  you dispose of or recycle the device.
• If your old phone had a physical SIM card, you should remove it. You can either store it
  securely as a backup or destroy it so there’s no risk of having the data on it stolen.
