How To Activate Esim On Iphone X

Learn how to use dual SIM with an eSIM on the Apple iPhone XS or newer running iOS 13 or later.

Download your eSIM

• For most Postpaid T-Mobile customers, when you change the SIM to the iPhone's EID, you're automatically prompted to install the assigned cellular plan. Just tap the notification to complete.
• T-Mobile Prepaid customers must download and use the T-Mobile Prepaid eSIM app.

Transfer your physical SIM to eSIM with another iPhone

You can use your two iPhones to transfer your physical SIM to an eSIM with these steps:

2. Make sure your current iPhone is powered on, has the physical SIM inserted, and is next to your new iPhone.
3. On the new iPhone, tapSettings >Cellular >Add Cellular Plan.
4. Select your phone number that's connected to the physical SIM. If it doesn't show, you can manually change the SIM to the iPhone's EID.
5. Tap Convert Cellular Plan > Convert to eSIM > OK.
6. On the current iPhone, tap Transfer. If you get any errors, check out the troubleshooting page.
7. Remove the physical SIM from your old iPhone.

1. Tap Settings > Cellular > Cellular Plans.
2. Tap the plan you want to use, then tap Turn On This Line.

View how much signal each line has

When you have both the SIM card slot and the eSIM active, you'll see slightly different bars of signal. One line will have the normal bars of signal and the other line will have dots of signal just below. When you swipe down to view the Control Center, you'll see each line with bars of signal and the carrier name to help you identify which is which. Check out the screenshots below.

Choose your default line for voice, messages, and data

You can set your default line, which iMessage and FaceTime use. Your iPhone will also use the default line when you call or send a message to someone who isn't in your Contacts app. Or you can choose to use one line for cellular data only and use your default line for calls and messages. With iOS 13, you can choose to use either or both numbers for iMessage and FaceTime.

1. From the Home screen, tap Settings > Cellular > Default Line.
2. Choose from the following options. [Plan Label] will be whatever name you choose for your lines.
   • Use [Plan Label] as your default line: If you select this option, this line will be used by default for voice, SMS, and data.
   • Use [Plan Label] for cellular data only: You might want to select this option if you're traveling internationally and only want to use the line for data.
