A Sweden eSIM can run beside the primary SIM on a compatible, carrier-unlocked iPhone. The important part is not only adding the profile, but assigning mobile data to the Sweden line without letting the primary line take over.
Menu labels can vary slightly by iOS version and region. Check the exact handset in Apple’s settings rather than assuming compatibility from the model family alone.
NoveSIM Sweden plans are data-only. They do not include a Swedish number, ordinary calls or carrier SMS, while supported internet calling and messaging use mobile data.
Quick answer: Confirm that the iPhone is unlocked and supports eSIM, install on trusted Wi-Fi, label both lines, select the Sweden eSIM for Cellular Data, turn off Cellular Data Switching and enable Data Roaming on the travel line when instructed.

Open Settings → General → About. Confirm that the phone shows an EID and that Carrier Lock indicates no SIM restrictions. The available fields can differ by model and market.
Use the Sweden eSIM compatibility guide before purchase, especially for devices originally sold in markets with different eSIM support.
Add the Sweden eSIM
- Connect the iPhone to reliable Wi-Fi.
- Open Settings → Cellular or Mobile Service.
- Tap Add eSIM.
- Scan the supplied QR code or use the approved manual method.
- Wait for the profile to appear, then give it a clear Sweden label.
Keep the QR code private and do not repeatedly scan it. Follow the full Sweden eSIM installation guide when the profile has not yet been added.
Choose the Sweden line for data
Open Cellular Data and select the Sweden eSIM. Turn off Allow Cellular Data Switching so the iPhone cannot move data to the primary SIM when the travel signal changes.
The primary line can remain enabled for relevant calls or messages, but those services may create roaming charges. Check Sweden roaming costs with the home operator.
Enable roaming on the travel line
Open the Sweden line and enable Data Roaming when the purchased-plan instructions require it. This permission belongs on the travel eSIM; it does not require enabling data on the primary line.
Leave Voice & Data on the normal automatic 4G/5G setting. 5G availability depends on the plan, iPhone model, region and local coverage.
Test the setup
Turn Wi-Fi off and load a lightweight webpage. Confirm that the Sweden line records the data use. The Sweden activation guide explains first connection and validity timing.
If the line registers but no data loads, check APN data.esim only when manual entry is required. Follow Sweden eSIM troubleshooting and do not delete the profile unless NoveSIM support instructs you to do so.

FAQ
Can I use a Sweden eSIM and my normal SIM together on iPhone?
Yes, on a compatible dual-SIM iPhone. Select the Sweden line for data and disable Cellular Data Switching to prevent unintended use of the primary line.
Where do I enable roaming for the Sweden eSIM?
Open the Sweden line in Cellular or Mobile Service settings and enable Data Roaming when the plan instructions require it.
Why does Add eSIM not appear on my iPhone?
The model or market variant may not support eSIM, the phone may be restricted, or device management may limit changes. Check EID and Carrier Lock under About.
Should I delete the eSIM if iPhone data does not work?
No. Keep it installed, check the selected data line, roaming and APN, and contact NoveSIM support before removing the profile.
Final Recommendation
Confirm the exact iPhone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked before buying a Sweden plan.
Install on Wi-Fi, label both lines and assign cellular data only to the Sweden eSIM with switching disabled.
Test one lightweight task without Wi-Fi and preserve the installed profile if troubleshooting is needed.
