Right. I m having issues helping the customers with new iPhone eSIM activation. This video tutorial is very helpful! I think I won't need to transfer the chats to Technical Support team any more. 😂
1:43 So glad I found this! I had T-Mobile transfer from physical SIM to eSIM over 2 hours ago and I still had no connection to the mobile network. The rep did not tell me that I had to download the eSIM profile! 🙄 For the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro (with Android 13), remove the physical SIM, then go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Add a network) > Download your SIM > Next. At the "Use T-Mobile?" prompt, tap "Download". You should soon see "Download Finished". Tap "Settings". Enable the "Use SIM" switch. At "Turn on T-Mobile?" prompt, tap "Yes". And after about a minute, the exclamation point should disappear from the Cell Signal icon at the top of the screen and you should see an acquired signal. After doing this, my 5G signal strength went from -130 and 21Mbps download on the old physical SIM (type "TM9263"), to -94 and 700+Mbps download on the eSIM! 🥰
This video was way more helpful then the guy I talked to on the customer service line. He told me to just wait and the cellular plan will be on my new phone. Never did and turns out he forgot to tell me I had to physically do stuff with my iPhone.
@@Pravduh they know about it but general activation that used to majorly take place at stores is being done over the phone now since everything is ordered and it takes time to adjust
First! Great vid, can you make a video detailing how to activate eSIM on Mint? I feel like many people on the r/mintmobile subreddit are asking about this
As of the latest Samsung Note 20 Ultra firmware update, the SIM Manager option is now available on unlocked devices. I successfully converted my physical T-Mobile SIM to eSIM as the primary line in addition to a secondary line via physical SIM. I'm in the US. Hope this helps.
now it would be great if the TMO website WORKED and let me actually activate the ESIM instead of giving me the vague/slightly insulting "Looks like we got our wires crossed. We weren’t able to process your request at this time. Please try again later," error.
Good video Stetson. Here’s my question, is this process the exact same with Sprint? Especially since now they are T-Mobile. I’m trying to get my physical sim into a sim just like you did here. Or do I have to download all the T Mobile apps and go thru this process?
i work in customer care lol, u cant do this same exact process yet, unless u have the new iphone 13, since we give them esims instead of the physical one when we activate them. although the physical sim would still work.
So I switched from apple to samsung. I bought the phone at bestbuy which came with a tmobile sim card. We were having trouble adding my tmobile service with the new sim card. While he was on the phone with tmobile I remembered I got an email saying after you get phone tap this link to activate. I did and now I have an "esim" on my new phone which is working with my plan. Can I remove the actual sim card now and just use my esim?
Hi, does anyone know if I can reuse a prepaid eSim after a while? I activated an esim in October, and would like to use it again in February, is it possible?
Great video... Need your help... I am located in Arkansas,USA. Existing T-Mobile prepaid customer. Is there a handset that will let me use 2 connections? ... I want to use the T-Mobile connection as eSim and another connection from a different line as physical sim. Please suggest all handsets that will allow me to do that.
Hi I was seeing how do I activate an new iPhone 12 SIM card with T-Mobile I just switch phone services from boost Mobile to T-Mobile I just need help activating the phone
⚠️💡Has this been answered: 🤔🤯 Can I use the esim on one phone and the physical sim on another phone? And would both of them work? It somebody calls me or text, would both phones receive the call and texts at the same yime? Or would the physical sim be deactivated once the esim is activated?
How do you switch from Verizon to US Mobile? Do you need too cancel with your current provider and then start with the new provider? Or can I do it all through US mobiles website and they will cancel for me?
I really need to make a video on this! Here are the basic steps: 1. Keep your current service _active_ . 2. Get your Verizon account info, including the number you need to port your number, your port-out PIN, and your billing ZIP code. I suggest you reach out to Verizon support to confirm this information. It’s important this is correct. 3. Order a SIM starter kit from US Mobile (use code “stetson” at checkout to get it for free + $20 account credit), and when it arrives follow the instructions to activate. 4. During the activation process, US Mobile will ask for your Verizon account information 5. Wait for your number to transfer over 6. When your number has transferred, you should be good to go! US Mobile will automatically cancel your Verizon account. Verizon will likely send you one final bill, and then you can enjoy the savings on US Mobile. I hope this helps!
After the eSIM is installed and activated, could I switch it back to the old physical SIM and deactivate the eSIM? i.e. Is it possible to jump back and forth between the T-mobile eSIM and physical SIM of the same number?
I Have been a Verizon customer for 2 year,Recently I have had issues Paying my Bills Early due to certain increase on My monthly bill's,i Have tried settling this issue with Verizon,i Have call trying I seek any Help Or explanation I can get,i feel Athey can't help me Out and they keep moving me In circle With different Customer representatives anytime I call.
So I have a 4g sim from my old phone, amd now I ordered a phone that has a 5g, but it didnt come with the 5g sim, so does T-Mobile provide a free 5g Sim? Or no? Explain, thank you.

You should be able to transfer your current plan to eSIM. There may be a setting in the iPhone’s settings, or you may need to contact T-Mobile support. I’m not 100% sure at this time.
??? I see this option in my tmobile account I have a N20U that I am about to Sim unlock. Would sim unlocking affect being able to use esim in the future? Thx
T-Mobile has, unfortunately, temporarily disabled the feature for users to transfer an eSIM from one phone to another phone. To do this, you need to contact T-Mobile customer care. :/
Primarily for security purposes & to help prevent SIM-swap attacks. Hopefully they add the feature back soon, but for now you still need to contact support.
can you use the e-sim and physical sim simultaneously? for example, if I want to use the e-sim just for imessages/call, and then the physical sim on a differnet phone just for data? thanks!
I love how I was on the T-Mobile chat trying to activate my E-SIM and then I see this video pop up in my Notification Center a few minutes later 😭. #shouldofbeenpatient
The destruction of being able to travel Fugk apple this is going to ruin the ability to travel cause you won't be able to swap to a new sim in a new country
This didn't help me at all I don't have sh!tty Iphone they only 4GB of RAM and 720p screen. 😂 My phone has 12GB of RAM and 2K screen. Buy an Android I can zoom in 100 times I'm sure and iPhone can't do that because an iPhone is an inferior phone. 😂
Transferring your phone number to eSIM lets you use your phone in dual-SIM mode. This means you can have two active SIM cards in your device at the same time. This is helpful when you travel internationally, as you can easily get an international SIM card when you arrive at your destination, or if you do a lot of traveling domestically and you want coverage on two networks at the same time.
This sure shows that eSims are way more involved than just popping in a sim card. Damn, that is a lot of steps!
It’s automated now. I didn’t have to do all of that when I got the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Then again that was with aT&t
as a person who works for customer service this is EXTREMELY HELPFUL GOSH THANK YOU SO MUCH 💕💕💕
You are welcome! 😊
Yup thats why I'm just following him.
Right. I m having issues helping the customers with new iPhone eSIM activation. This video tutorial is very helpful! I think I won't need to transfer the chats to Technical Support team any more. 😂
Does this still work? I couldn't open T-mobile app on the new phone. It said "Sorry. We are not ready for you yet." Or something to that effect.

As a TMO employee, thank you for this. This is more helpful that you know
Why don’t most T-Mobile employees know about eSIM?
@@Pravduh it’s not something we received a training for and usually have to call customer service to activate it anyways

Love it when they decide 2-factor authentication is so important that they have to text you a code... ON A DEVICE WITH NO E-SIM ACTIVE.
Very help with someone who want dual numbers with 1 phone
I already have eSIM working. Wish your Video was out when I went to eSIM I went thru customer service it took a little longer but works fine

thanks so much for your effort but seriously that's so complicated 😄
What if you didn't have a physical sim inserted? Will the esim go to the primary instead during setup?
First! Great vid, can you make a video detailing how to activate eSIM on Mint? I feel like many people on the r/mintmobile subreddit are asking about this
How do you transfer esim from old iPhone to a new iPhone?
Thanks to this video, I carry only one phone with all my services active. This is what I was looking for.
Thank you!
Can I do this to a prepaid T-mobile plan?
There is no more option to do that in the T-Mobile App. Very disappointing
As of the latest Samsung Note 20 Ultra firmware update, the SIM Manager option is now available on unlocked devices. I successfully converted my physical T-Mobile SIM to eSIM as the primary line in addition to a secondary line via physical SIM. I'm in the US. Hope this helps.
Do you have prepaid or regular plan , did you activated eSIM through iPhone or your Samsung
I am using the prepaid plan, so I am not able to sign in to my account with T-mobile app
can this work with post paid t-mobile?
Great video man, thanks that is very helpful 👍🏻..
This was super helpful! Thank You!
Thank you. Been looking for this all day. This is the best explanation and tutorial i have found.
Do u know how to activate prepaid with an esim?
I don't have this option

Well done!
Does it work with IMEI from any country? thankU
Can we find these steps on official site ? If yes, please help me because I can't
What is the negative of giving it to someone?
Confusing what is the eSIM cards is that what t- mobile calls it?

No, you cannot use the same phone number on two different phones. When you switch to eSIM, your physical SIM card is deactivated.

Tnx bro
After eSIM activation, if I add physical SIM from another provider, do I need to have my phone unlocked first?
Yes
After the eSIM is installed and activated, could I switch it back to the old physical SIM and deactivate the eSIM? i.e. Is it possible to jump back and forth between the T-mobile eSIM and physical SIM of the same number?
I'd like to know this too....

Hi，I want to unlock my T-Mobile iPhone.
Could advise me the ways, tks
Waht operator is best in the USA 🇺🇸
Please tell me guy's
If we decided to, can the esim be reverse back to physical sim card?
Yes.
Will you be able to get calls and text on both lines? I was hoping this trick would work for my business without me having to purchase a new phone
Yes, you can receive calls on both lines! eSIM is perfect for having your personal number and your main phone number in one device.
What happened if my device is not from t mobile ?
How do you swap the same esim when using an ios device to an android device?
ok but Fkling why ?! ... this is ridiculous im keeping my Sim card in my 13 pro max this just seems stupid .

Just talk to TMobile customer support. Probably your best bet because Stephen might not respond.
I bought a $40/mo plan with sim. Does that automatically comes with e-sim? Or do I need to get a new plan for the e-sim?

My question here is how to deactivate esim when you travel abroad?

Transferring your phone number to eSIM lets you use your phone in dual-SIM mode. This means you can have two active SIM cards in your device at the same time. This is helpful when you travel internationally, as you can easily get an international SIM card when you arrive at your destination, or if you do a lot of traveling domestically and you want coverage on two networks at the same time.
