How to set up an eSIM
If you purchased an iPhone 13 model from an Apple Retail Store or Apple Online Store in the United States, your iPhone won't arrive with a SIM card installed. To activate your iPhone, turn it on, connect to a Wi-Fi network and follow the onscreen instructions.
Otherwise, if you do need to set up an eSIM, you can scan the QR code your network provider gave you, use your network provider's iPhone app, install an assigned plan, enter the information manually or transfer an eSIM from your previous iPhone:
Scan a QR code
If you're asked to enter a confirmation code to activate the eSIM, enter the number that your network provider gave you.
Install an assigned mobile data plan
With iOS 13 and later, some network providers can assign a mobile data plan for you to install. Contact your network provider for more information.
If a plan was assigned to you, follow these steps:
If you're asked to "Transfer Mobile Data Plan" while setting up your iPhone, find out how to transfer your eSIM.
