After all, you won't be able to swap your SIM card from your old phone over to your iPhone 14, as there's no longer anywhere to put it — at least on U.S. iPhone 14 models. However, the good news is that this isn't as complicated as it sounds.

<h2>How to activate an eSIM using eSIM Carrier Activation</h2> If you purchased your iPhone 14 from a carrier that supports Apple's eSIM Carrier Activation, there's a good chance that it will be ready to go right out of the box, regardless of the platform you've come from. This is similar to how most carriers previously shipped a new SIM card to use along with your new iPhone, with a quick process for activating the new SIM card and deactivating the old one.

If your eSIM isn't provisioned automatically during the initial setup process, either because it wasn't set up correctly or you purchased it from Apple or another retailer, you can give their customer support a call and ask them to set it up for you. In this case, finish setting up your iPhone.

The method to do this will depend on the carrier and app you're using, but the one thing they all have in common is that you won't be able to configure your eSIM during the initial setup process. Instead, you'll need to set your iPhone 14 up over a Wi-Fi connection, skip the eSIM setup, and then download and use your carrier's app once everything else is up and running.

You can do this using a printed code or directly from a second screen, such as your old phone, a tablet, or a computer. Step 5: If you're unable to scan the QR code, or your carrier provides you with manual activation codes instead, select Enter details manually and type in the activation information provided by your carrier on the next screen. Step 6: Wait for the iPhone 14 eSIM activation process to complete.
