VISTORBELITUNG.COM,You can transfer your eSIM to a new iPhone using a few different methods. Here's a breakdown of the common ways:
Method 1: Direct Transfer from Your Previous iPhone (iOS 16 or Later)
This is the easiest method if your old iPhone is nearby and running iOS 16 or later:
On your new iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM.
Choose "Transfer From Nearby iPhone". If you don't see this option, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices and they are near each other.
Check your old iPhone for a prompt. It will ask if you want to transfer your phone number to the new iPhone. Tap "Transfer".
If asked for a verification code, enter the code displayed on your new iPhone on your old iPhone.
Wait for the cellular plan to activate on your new iPhone. Your eSIM on the previous iPhone will be deactivated.
Tap "Done" on your new iPhone.
Method 2: Using a QR Code Provided by Your Carrier
If your carrier provides a QR code for eSIM activation:
Obtain the QR code from your carrier. This might be through email, their website, or by contacting customer support.
On your new iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM.
Tap "Use QR Code".
Scan the QR code with your iPhone's camera.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the eSIM setup. You might need to enter a confirmation code.
Method 3: Manual Entry of eSIM Details
If your carrier provides you with the eSIM details (SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code):
Obtain the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code from your carrier.
On your new iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM.
Tap "Enter Details Manually" at the bottom of the screen.
Enter the SM-DP+ Address and Activation Code provided by your carrier.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the eSIM setup.
Important Considerations
Connectivity: Ensure your new iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi during the eSIM transfer process.
Carrier Support: Confirm that your mobile carrier supports eSIM transfers and the specific method you intend to use.
Old iPhone Availability: For the direct transfer method, you'll need access to your old iPhone.
One-Time Use QR Codes: QR codes for eSIM activation are often for one-time use only. If you've already scanned it on another device, you'll need to contact your carrier for a new one.
Deactivating eSIM on Old Device: In some cases, you might need to explicitly remove or deactivate the eSIM from your old iPhone before activating it on the new one. Check with your carrier for specific instructions.
If you encounter any issues during the transfer process, it's best to contact your mobile carrier's customer support for assistance.
