An eSIM works by digitally storing your carrier’s profile in your device, eliminating the need for a physical SIM card. It uses the device’s built-in technology to connect you to cellular networks, and you can activate it by scanning a QR code or inputting carrier settings manually.

1. To add an eSIM:

• Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan.
• Scan the QR code provided by your carrier or manually enter the details.
• Once scanned, follow the prompts to activate the eSIM and assign it for data or calling purposes.

1. iPhones can support multiple eSIMs, but only a limited number can be active at a time. For example:

• On iPhone 13 and newer models, you can use up to 2 eSIMs at once (or 1 physical SIM and 1 eSIM for dual-SIM functionality).
• Older models, like iPhone XR and XS, support only 1 eSIM alongside a physical SIM.

1. To transfer an eSIM between iPhones:

• On the old iPhone, go to Settings > Mobile Data, and remove or deactivate the eSIM.
• On the new iPhone, open Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan, and scan the QR code provided by your carrier.
• You can also check with your carrier for any automatic eSIM transfer options, depending on their services.

Transferring your eSIM to a new iPhone involves a few steps:

• On your old iPhone, go to Settings > Mobile Data, and choose to delete or transfer the eSIM.
• On your new iPhone, go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan, and scan the same QR code provided by your carrier.
• If your carrier supports automatic transfer, they may send the eSIM to your new phone directly after you log into your carrier account.

To activate an eSIM on iPhone:

• Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Add Data Plan.
• Use the camera to scan the QR code provided by your carrier, which will automatically download the eSIM profile.
• Once downloaded, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation, and assign the eSIM as your default for data or calls.

To activate an eSIM, follow these steps:

• Obtain a QR code from your carrier.
• Open Settings > Mobile Data on your device, and select Add Data Plan.
• Scan the QR code, and your phone will download the eSIM profile and activate the plan.
• After activation, you can manage the eSIM from the Mobile Data section in your settings.

Converting from an eSIM to a physical SIM is typically handled by your carrier. You’ll need to:

• Contact your mobile service provider and request a physical SIM.
• They will deactivate the eSIM and provide you with a physical SIM card, which you can insert into your phone.
• Once the physical SIM is inserted, it will automatically connect to your carrier’s network.
