Our phone number for many years was stored on chips — also known as a SIM card — which underwent some evolutions in its technology until it became a very small component, the nano chip. However, this evolution did not stop until this chip became something virtual – the eSIM. And today we are going to teach you how to enable the eSIM on your iPhone, which is a pretty simple thing to do. Come see with us! 5a131j
Activating eSIM on iPhone 1q1f3o
A Apple provides a few different ways to enable this eSIM, possibly the most common being going to the operator you are linked to and requesting an eSIM there. Anyway, we are going to show you all the ways in which the activation of the eSIM can be done. No matter how you do it, iPhone must always be connected to a network. Wi-Fi.
By the operator 51y63
It's possible that some carriers will assign a new eSIM directly to your iPhone, and for that, you'll need to your carrier to start the process. Once you follow the guidelines, a notification will appear “Finish Setting Up Cellular Plan“, then select it.
- Manually you can get to this step by accessing Settings and select the option Phone;
- Now choose Configure Cellular or add eSIM.
- Depending on the guidance given to you by the operator, there are two ways to activate: transferring the data from an old iPhone or through a QR Code — possibly it will be the last option, when it comes to enabling eSIM in a carrier.

There are operators that the transfer of the phone number from the previous iPhone to a new iPhone without this being necessary. In these cases make sure you are logged in with your Apple ID on both devices or that the previous iPhone is nearby and unlocked, in addition to also having the Bluetooth activated and using operating system iOS 16 or later — that is, with the updated system.
Now on the new iPhone go to Settings > Phone and choose Configure Cellular or add eSIM. Then click on “Transfer from a Nearby iPhone” or you can still choose a phone number — the new number, in this case. On the previous iPhone, just follow the instructions that will appear on the screen to confirm and complete the transfer. It is worth ing that when this transfer is carried out, the number stops working on the old device and becomes available exclusively on the new one.
By QR Code 2o304t
The operator can still send you a QR Code — QR code — to be scanned with your iPhone's camera. In this case you should go to Settings > Phone, choose the Configure Cellular option or add eSIM and then click on “Use QR Code“. Now using the rear camera, position the QR Code in the frame that will appear on the screen or you can also enter the details manually. Some information will appear and the process will be finished. In some cases, s receive a request to enter a confirmation code that is sent by the operator.

The new technology that allows replacing — wholly or partially — the physical chips is not present in all iPhone models. And even in those that are allowed, the virtual chip may end up being limited to an eSIM e um physical chip, while other models behave normally two eSIM. Check out the iPhone models that are compatible with eSIM:
- iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone SE 2022. The iPhone SE 2022 can up to 2 eSIMs;

Some models, such as the iPhone 14 line launched in 2022, do not have a physical chip slot on devices sold in the United States. The measure did not affect all countries, but apparently Apple's intention is also to reduce the use of physical chips in its devices, which may even be a security issue for the himself. the mobile connection 5G present in the iPhone 12 line onwards also works normally on eSIM – of course, if there is coverage where the is.
