Connecting to carrier when buying a new iPhone without SSN

I do not have a SSN as I am an international student however I do have a phone plan. I was asked to enter my SSN in the connect to carrier option while trying to buy a new iPhone. Is there an alternative to this option?

iPhone 13

Choose the Sim Free version, or don't setup the service on the website. The connection requires an SSN, no way around that, but you don't need to setup the connection there.


Once you receive the iPhone, simply insert your SIM card into it.
