iCloud backup is dependent on Apple ID and not on the Phone number.


For transfer of eSIM...

Yes, you can do that but will depend on the country and the service provider.


There are four options --> Find wireless carriers and worldwide service providers that offer eSIM service - Apple Support

  1. Wireless carriers that support eSIM Carrier Activation
  2. Wireless carriers that support eSIM Quick Transfer
  3. Wireless carriers that support other eSIM activation methods
  4. Wireless carriers that support eSIM activation on prepaid plans for international travelers
