Hello Brenddonn,


You can set up an eSIM with these steps:


If you're switching to iPhone (from an Android phone, for example), contact your carrier to transfer your phone number to your iPhone through eSIM Carrier Activation or by scanning a QR code from your carrier.
If you contacted your carrier for an eSIM after you set up your iPhone, and they set up eSIM Carrier Activation, follow these steps: 

1. When a notification appears that says Carrier Cellular Plan Ready to Be Installed, tap it.
2. In the Settings app, tap Carrier Cellular Plan Ready to Be Installed.
3. Tap Continue, at the bottom of the screen.
4. Make a call on your iPhone to check its cellular connectivity. If you can't make a call, contact your carrier.
5. If the plan you activated replaces the plan on your physical SIM, remove your physical SIM. Then restart your iPhone.
