Dual SIM - How Do I Completely Remove It?
Removing a Dual SIM completely takes two separate steps: deleting the eSIM profile from your device, and changing your plan type in the Burner app. Doing only one of these will leave the other part active.
What to expect
- Deleting the eSIM from your device settings removes it from your phone, but it doesn't change your Burner subscription.
- Changing your plan type in the app moves you off the Dual SIM plan, but it doesn't remove the eSIM profile your device is still holding onto.
- You need to do both for Dual SIM to be fully gone.
- This is a one-way change. Once you're off Dual SIM, you can't switch back to it on the same number.
- If you have other numbers attached to your Dual SIM plan, they'll convert to prepaid when you change your plan type. You'll want to re-attach or extend those separately if you want to keep them active.
Step 1: Delete the eSIM profile from your device
iOS
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Cellular (this may show as Mobile Data on some devices).
- Under SIMs, tap the eSIM number you want to remove.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Delete eSIM.
- Confirm when prompted.
Android
- Open Settings.
- Tap Network & internet (or Connections, depending on your device).
- Tap SIMs, then select the eSIM you want to remove.
- Tap Remove SIM or Erase eSIM.
- Confirm when prompted.
Step 2: Change your plan type in the app
- Open the Burner app and tap More.
- Tap Account.
- Tap Manage Subscription.
- Choose Change Plan and select a Standard or Premium plan (without Dual SIM).
- Confirm the change.
