Hey pajdesign,


Thanks for reaching out via Apple Support Communities. I can see that you need help setting up your iPhone XS Max. I'm here to help. Generally, your wireless carrier would provide the SIM card for use on their network. Reach out to them directly to obtain one and from there, you can follow the steps in the following articles to properly set up your device.


Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Note: In some regions, the newer iPhones (iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR) offer a Dual SIM feature, including an eSIM option. An eSIM allows you to activate your phone through your carrier directly, without requiring a physical SIM card. For more information, you may find this article helpful as well:
