To use an iPhone 14 (eSIM only, in the US) or to use the eSIM available in most recent iPhone models, you will need an eSIM, and not a SIM.


If the iPhone migration is not transferring the cellular plan, contact your carrier.

SIM not an Option:

You likely have a phone made for the Western hemisphere. So, SIM is not an option in you area. Where did you get this phone? Return it, if an option.
