Adding a second cellular plan on my iPhone XR
My iphone XR is looking for a scan or manual entry of data or to enter details manually. How can I get past that to esim?

Depends on your carrier.
Some provision eSIM profiles with a QR code. Some probably still do it “manually.” Mine does it OTA w/ the phone’s EID.
You need to use whatever method YOUR 2nd carrier uses.
Ok … I see where you are.
For either of those two options to work, you need info from T-Mo …
… and if you call T-Mo, they don’t use either of those options.
So … set you patience level to “High”
and call T-Mo. 😉
Sorry, but I’m not quite sure what you’re looking at ?
Are you using the T-Mo app?
In my last two provisioning experiences (about a month ago), T-Mo agent (an actual human) asked for my EID … and voila … 5m later the new profile was provisioned into the eSIM OTA and was working.
Yes! So far, so good! I’m doing a 30 day dual cellular trial with TMobile before switching from Verizon. We moved from MI to WA one year ago this month and have no bars from Verizon to our home. Using WiFi assist works until power is out… which happens too often. Thanks for your care and assistance.
Always a smart strategy to “try before you buy.”
FWIW, I “jumped” to T-Mo “quite a while” ago; back when they were early-adopters of WiFi calling; sorely needed at the time due to poor mobile coverage.
Thanks, again. I’m not certain yet… it fluctuates from three bars to one. Still, Verizon fluctuated between zero and one, so….
TMobile seems to have more, faster service and lower cost. During the 30 day trial, will see if it works on the rest of the island and, if so, 13 years of loyalty to Verizon will end.
The carrier T-Mobile uses esim. My iPhone XR is not giving me that option … only asks for a scan or manual entry. How do I correct that?
I am using T-Mobile test. It’s a prelude to switching cellular providers. I believe the app has now set the test account so I’m good for now.
Glad it’s working for you. 👍
