Yes you can, however, you will have to restore your new iPhone back to factory settings and begin the set up procedure again. Open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Transfer or Reset iPhone ➡️ Erase All Content & Settings: This action will reset the iPhone as new and back to factory settings. You can begin the setup process and get to Quick Start.

NO. If you have a physical SIM card in your iPhone then your telephone number and your cellular service will continue to function after the reset. If you have an iPhone 14 with an eSIM, then before the Erase All Contents & Settings command is carried out, you will have the option to keep the eSIM activated with your carrier. You should opt to keep the eSIM.
