How to transfer eSIM to new device

Requirements for transferring eSIM to another device:

  • Check your devices and ensure both are running iOS / iPadOS 18.6.2 or a newer version
  • Both devices must be signed in to the Apple Account
  • The current device is unlocked with the device passcode
  • Keep both devices close together with Bluetooth enabled
  • Make sure both devices are connected to the same strong and stable Wi-Fi network

Note: The above information is for reference only. Please check with your mobile device provider for more details.

Recommendation:

  1. Before switching devices and using eSIM, please connect to Wi-Fi. Begin by backing up and transferring all your data, then proceed to transfer the eSIM to your new device.
  2. Back up all your contacts from physical SIM (if applicable) to the device's phonebook and ensure that all your data is saved on iCloud before moving forward.

^Once the conversion is complete, your physical SIM card will be deactivated immediately, and there is no need to keep it.
