Are you in the US?


When ordering from Apple, did you select a phone from one of the “Big 3” carriers AND provide the phone number for the new phone ?


If so, it’s probably pre-configured w/ an eSIM and you just need to turn it on and follow the setup instructions.


If any the above DON’T apply, you can move your SIM and the phone should work; although you might be better served by obtaining a new SIM setup for 5G services.
