1. Check Compatibility: Ensure your iPhone model supports eSIM technology. Most newer iPhone models support eSIM, but it’s always good to double-check.
2. Contact Your Carrier: You need to have a carrier that supports eSIM service. Contact your carrier to see if they offer eSIM plans and if your iPhone is eligible for eSIM activation.
3. Get eSIM Activation Card or QR Code: Your carrier will provide you with an eSIM activation card or a QR code containing the necessary information to activate your eSIM.
4. Access Settings: On your iPhone, go to Settings.
5. Select Cellular: In the Settings menu, find and select “Cellular.”
6. Add Cellular Plan: Inside the Cellular menu, you should see an option called “Add Cellular Plan” or “Add Data Plan.” Tap on it.
7. Scan QR Code or Enter Details: Depending on what your carrier provided you with, either scan the QR code using your iPhone’s camera or manually enter the details provided on the eSIM activation card.
8. Follow On-screen Instructions: Follow any on-screen prompts or instructions to complete the eSIM activation process.
9. Set Default Line (optional): If you have both a physical SIM card and an eSIM activated, you can set your default line for calls, messages, and data. You can do this by going to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Plans and selecting your preferred default line.
10. Confirmation: Once the eSIM activation process is complete, you should receive a confirmation message from your carrier.

That’s it! Your iPhone is now set up with eSIM functionality, allowing you to use cellular service without a physical SIM card. Remember to keep your eSIM details secure, just like you would with a physical SIM card.
