You have a physical SIM card in your iPhone 8. You need an eSIM with your iPhone 14. You will have to contact your carrier and have them transfer service to your new iPhone 14 via eSIM setup. Once this is completed, then you will lose service on your iPhone 8 and gain cellular service on your iPhone 14 via eSIM.

Thanks for replying! In fact that what happen. My provider had to send me a QR Code of the line that was on my Iphone 8, had to scan with the Iphone 14. Then you'll see under Settings>Cellular there is a line saying Activation. In which after scanning the QR Code it will continue to activate till is activated. I recommend on doing between buiseness hours because depending the time, it way affect the activition process.
