iPhone 13 sim card

I received my new iPhone 13 without a sim card. My carrier is AT&T and I purchased it thru Apple online. The sim card in my old iPhone Xr does not fit my iPhone 13. I can make phone calls and do text msgs.


Do I need go to an AT&T store to get a sim card?

Disregard. Tray is on opposite side of 13 vs Xr. I figured it out. It fits

Apple doesn't ship sim cards in iPhone 12 or 13 models anymore. It has an eSim, which AT&T can activate online or over a phone call with you. There's really no need to use physical sim cards anymore.


When I received my iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, I also bought it from Apple online directly and I identified my carrier as AT&T and validated my phone number. When I turned the phones on, they automatically activated to the correct phone numbers on start up. If yours didn't, just call AT&T and they get you activated over the phone.
