Hello there,


I understand you’re having an issue setting up a SIM Pin your SIM card. I would first verify you are actually using a physical SIM card with your new iPhone. If you’re not familiar with this process, here’s a great article that will help: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201337


Once you have verified you are using a physical SIM card, follow the instructions in the following article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201529


If you are NOT using a physical SIM card, then you will not be able to lock the e-SIM card. SIM Pin exists as a feature in the event that your device is lost or stolen to prevent someone from removing your SIM card, placing it on a different device, and have access to your phone number. An e-SIM is built into the phone, which is why you cannot set a SIM Pin.


Hope this helps!
