Thank you so much for this video, i was on the phone with T-Mobile customer service for 40+ minutes and the man didn't know how to transfer E-sim between phones, he also did not understand English very well. After nearly 2 hours i got frustrated with repeating myself, hung up the phone, went to TH-cam and your video got my phone activated in 5 minutes. So Thank you my friend for saving my sanity!
Stetson "please" do a video on best plan for travelers; including MNVO/non-MVNO plans (with alternative options i.e phone-plan with an Airalo add on etc) thanks
I wonder if this would work the same for T-Mobile Prepaid. Not upgrading any time soon but when I do I hope T-Mobile Prepaid eSIM transfer works the same
I have AT&T prepaid, 40 dollars flat a month. Have 13 pro max and got 14 pro max on day of release. Just had to take it to store as they needed eSim key from their computer was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Easy process. Now that the latest iOS update is out you might not even need to drop hy store. Regardless whole process is easy. Keeping 13 pro max as my secondary phone in addition to when Inam traveling but I have no doubt soon most cell companies will adapt to eSim And make it easier to switch quickly
Hello. I'm considering buying the new iPhone 14 Pro. I'm currently an android user. When you start setting up the new IPhone, does it require an Apple ID to complete setup? Or can we defer that task until later?
My eSim (T-Mobile, USA) is not working, after turning off/turning on I get a signal and connection, but only for 30 seconds, after which all signal and connection disappeared. I am abroad, and I am using a local provider's physical Sim card as a second line. My device ( iPhone 12 Pro) is working properly. I spent over 6 hours talking T-mobile technical team, but no result. Is any suggestion?
My sister had major issues setting her new phone up because of the cellular transfer issue and I’m so glad I found your video so that I can avoid those issues when I set mine up later today. Thank you!
I still am not ready to jump on the E-SIM train, I feel like Apple is forcing there willing U.S. Carriers when Apple dies not build & own the cellular networks.
This is so helpful! I just did 3 trade ins to iPhone 14 series on T-Mobile and they are all coming in the mail tomorrow so I’ll have to do this process 3 times. Thanks for the video!
So how about when you’re transferring your number from T-Mobile to Verizon? I’m having issues with my physical sim T-Mobile iPhone 13 pro max. I bought a iPhone 14 pro max with Verizon and I’m trying to turn on iMessage with it and it won’t work. No Matter what I’ve tried.
I don't think the procedure for SIM to eSIM conversion on the same iPhone works for T-Mobile Prepaid plans. When I log in to T-Mobile, my interface looks different than the one you showed and when I go under (My) Account, there is no option to update/upgrade my SIM.
Thank for the “courage” from Apple that no one ask for. They make simple process to complicated thing. I could have upgrade but Apple, you can keep your new phone.
Back in May 2019, I had the iPhone XS, I was about to travel outside the US and wanted to have an esim with my T-Mobile line, and I had convinced the customer service rep to switch to esim haha, took like 3 days of contacting and they finally let me do it. It was awesome, T-Mobile has the best customer service of them all!
I will definitely just be going the more automatic route through the phone only, but its so great to see how it works and also how easy it is! Great and valuable video! Thank you!
So when you’re transferring your phone number to your new iPhone with eSIM the reason why you get the pop up, they have to click the side button because you’re verifying that you were the authorized user transferring that phone number to that new phone so that it gives you protection, so no one doesn’t steal your phone number
I have a workphone number physical sim iphone 11 and Its not under my name( company phone) , would i be able to transfer it to esim since i wanted to use my own iphone 14 instead of carrying 2 phones? Does account name or ownership prevents esim transfers?
I clicked “transfer from another iPhone” like 5 mins ago 🤦🏻♀️ I only just realized the iPhone 14 pro I have doesn’t have the SIM slot while iOS 16.4.1 is downloading. Lets see how this goes for me…
One question I have is that I am a sprint customer they got transferred to T-Mobile but I try going on to T-Mobile's website but it keeps redirecting me to the sprint mobile app when I try to convert my physical Sim to eSIM
I traded my S9 for the S23, which I then traded for my mom's new iPhone14 Plus. I took the sim from the 23 and put it into my iPhone SE - then fell asleep watching this video. I woke from a dream to discover that my SE was ready to transfer to eSim on the 14... Long story short, I was laying down in bed, in my pajamas, laughing before I went back to counting sheep.
I’m buying the phone from T-Mobile today only, we did the hard stuff yesterday, today we’re trading in the iPhone 11 64 GB and we’re getting 800 dollars off. I’m ready to upgrade my battery sucks rn
Stetson, A moment of your time, this is Just what I was looking for. question though, will this work with i15 pro?.. The t mobile guy said something about a qr code as well, phone arrives in 3 weeks. just need to prep. I have new phone anxiety..
Has anyone done this while traveling outside the US? Theoretically, it shouldn’t matter but I’d love to know if anyone has actually done it successfully.
Thank you. This video is exactly what I am looking for. My current 12pro has been activated with T-Mobile physical SIM and I want to move the SIM to embedded eSIM, so I can purchase another physical SIM in other countries.
Wow! I also requested and texted *MOE* Now when you purchase a carrier-locked Phone, the iPhone 14 series receives an activation policy to this effect-only support E-SIMs from Carrier “iOS”. Any other SIM that’s inserted will give an error message. In the United States today, typically only devices that are on device payment plans are locked by the carrier, to prevent the users from using them with another carrier before it’s been paid off. If you purchase a device and pay the full price, the device receives an activation policy telling it to work with any SIM-KARTE{E-sim}
I ran into the problem of not updating first now old phone has the sim in but no signal only SOS and the new phone has everything in but no signal it didn’t do the eSIM what should I do?
Are these steps the same for someone coming from an iPhone 7 upgrading to an iPhone se 3rd? Also, is there a preference in ordering the phone? Either from apple or tmobile?
When I went to the website to start the esim process. It just brought me to a page that forces me to contact customer support . Not the two “new device “ and “current device” options
Yes, you can. You just need to buy a physical SIM card from T-Mobile and then follow the tutorial in the second half of the video using T-Mobile’s website. Just select “physical SIM” instead of “eSIM.
Are you able to complete this process if you don't have the physical Sim in another phone. I traded the other phone in already so there's no option to have two phones side by side to complete the process as you've explained. The video was so seamless thank you so much. Hoping to get my issue resolved.
Ok question when I’m buying the new iPhone in apples website should I click(unlocked version) or should I go with (get a new iPhone with any carrier) or does it not matter ?
Hi Stetson, I am a little disappointed, when I saw the notification, I was hoping You were going live for a while, That is ok, I will see You with Dennis on Best Cell Phone Plans. Peace Buddy.
To all prepaid customer you have to call customer service and give them your IMEI. After that it takes like 5 minutes to set it up.
Thank you so much for this video, i was on the phone with T-Mobile customer service for 40+ minutes and the man didn't know how to transfer E-sim between phones, he also did not understand English very well. After nearly 2 hours i got frustrated with repeating myself, hung up the phone, went to TH-cam and your video got my phone activated in 5 minutes. So Thank you my friend for saving my sanity!
Thank you! Please continue doing what you do! You saved me a major headache!
You’re better then the T-Mobile
Stetson "please" do a video on best plan for travelers; including MNVO/non-MVNO plans (with alternative options i.e phone-plan with an Airalo add on etc) thanks
Is every T-Mobile plan automatically e-sim supported?
@Sharon Mattew boy if you don’t
Just got my IPhone 14 and had this issue. You solved it! Thank you very much

t-mobile sucks i have like 100+ problems with them and issues
Hello. I'm considering buying the new iPhone 14 Pro. I'm currently an android user. When you start setting up the new IPhone, does it require an Apple ID to complete setup? Or can we defer that task until later?
Was that 14 Pro unlocked? Do I need to do some extra steps if it is not bought from T-Mobile?
My eSim (T-Mobile, USA) is not working, after turning off/turning on I get a signal and connection, but only for 30 seconds, after which all signal and connection disappeared. I am abroad, and I am using a local provider's physical Sim card as a second line. My device ( iPhone 12 Pro) is working properly. I spent over 6 hours talking T-mobile technical team, but no result. Is any suggestion?
What if I'm going from physical SIM on the iphone 12 (tmobile) to eSIM on the iphone 14P (Verizon)
after converting to eSIM.... should we keep it the plastic? or is it garbage now?
How are you able to transfer a number to esim from an android to the new iPhone 14 ?
what if i still have sprint?
Thanks for this Stetson! As a mobile expert, this is a God send!
Tmobile makes you call them now. Website wont allow you to do this.
True!
if you convert from physical sim to esim using tmobile account web app can you go back to your physical sim or is it a one direction only process?
My sister had major issues setting her new phone up because of the cellular transfer issue and I’m so glad I found your video so that I can avoid those issues when I set mine up later today. Thank you!
Gone are the days where you can pop in SIM card and just set up right away. iCloud and everything
Does this work if I am on a T mobile prepaid connection as well?
Where is the part where t-mobile charges you 35.00 for nothing.
Can you do a video android to ios esim setup process? Going from note 10plus to 14 pro max
Do not fall for this, this is a scam
Where is the trade in deals video? Should’ve been out after the Apple event.
I know 😭 I got caught up in some other projects. Those are my next priorities!
@@StetsonDoggett thanks bro. I always check them out before I purchase.
I still am not ready to jump on the E-SIM train, I feel like Apple is forcing there willing U.S. Carriers when Apple dies not build & own the cellular networks.
Oh how things have changed. I guarantee the carrier that doesn't sell an iPhone, they would be in trouble in the US market
I don’t like it due higher difficulty to get cheaper local sim card when traveling abroad, but it’s super convenient if the prepaid card offer esim.
@@christinelu7949 right you will have to bring an old phone and hotspot it
I need it cause I travel a lot, it’s a big help having my main phone plan as an e sim so i could switch physical sims wherever i go
*their, *does
This is so helpful! I just did 3 trade ins to iPhone 14 series on T-Mobile and they are all coming in the mail tomorrow so I’ll have to do this process 3 times. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome, Brett! Glad I could help out!

Wow, this is so much simpler than popping out the sim card and putting it in the new phone. Thanks Apple! /s
Thank you ! You saved me a trip to the T-Mobile store.
I am on California time, the PST Time Zone. What time is the show tomorrow?
That would be at 4:15 PST.
Thank for the “courage” from Apple that no one ask for. They make simple process to complicated thing.
I could have upgrade but Apple, you can keep your new phone.
no one fucking cares
Nice thanks. Will be doing it soon but for metro.
I love ur videos! Thank you for saving my time!!!
Video is helpful. I'm not ready jump in to Esim yet
I was really hoping Apple would get activations on iOS 16 right the first time so we don’t have to update first
I do think the eSIM transfer mostly works, but I believe updating your software to the latest version is the safest move.
Back in May 2019, I had the iPhone XS, I was about to travel outside the US and wanted to have an esim with my T-Mobile line, and I had convinced the customer service rep to switch to esim haha, took like 3 days of contacting and they finally let me do it.

They didn’t want to in the beginning ?

How to transfer back from esim to physical sim ?
This was almost as good as free pizza. Thanks.
I have a workphone number physical sim iphone 11 and Its not under my name( company phone) , would i be able to transfer it to esim since i wanted to use my own iphone 14 instead of carrying 2 phones? Does account name or ownership prevents esim transfers?
@archfx, did you try it? I'm exactly in the same situation. Thanks
thank you for this video, going to have to through this process today.
Thanks for this video! :) Super helpful
Much appreciated for the help with this! You definitely simplified the process for me!
I love the way I get it done step by step, well thanks to the exact explanations.
What about going back from eSIM to physical SIM?
I believe you need to order a physical SIM from T-Mobile and then follow the process I show on the T-Mobile website to activate it.
Can it still work if i have iphone 8 to 14
Did gou figure it out?
It a helpful video and I like it 😊

Do they charge for this now? I heard that T-Mobile will charge you every time you switch phones with esim,
Thank you.
This video is exactly what I am looking for.
My current 12pro has been activated with T-Mobile physical SIM and I want to move the SIM to embedded eSIM, so I can purchase another physical SIM in other countries.
I needed to hotspot to set up esim while I was out. During school. The slow wifi wouldn’t work I needed someone with T-Mobile

I was looking for a way to convert sim to esim.
It seems that I have to buy a new iPhone.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for tjhis video! Do you have one for the Samsung Galaxy S22?
Are these steps the same for someone coming from an iPhone 7 upgrading to an iPhone se 3rd? Also, is there a preference in ordering the phone? Either from apple or tmobile?
What a huge hassle. I use both android and ios on tmobile and refuse to upgrade to an esim. Takes 2 seconds to swap between actual sim card.
Can i transfer physical sim to esim same way from Android to iPhone 14 pro max ??
does the quick transfer work using Iphone 8 to Iphone 14?
Or you can just go into the iPhone settings and hit convert to eSIM without having to go to any carrier website.
I called in to have them activate a new phone with a SIM card now Esim and Sim Cards won’t work now
Does this work the same way with a samsung note 9?
When I went to the website to start the esim process. It just brought me to a page that forces me to contact customer support . Not the two “new device “ and “current device” options
Can someone explain why an esim is better or worse? I’ve never heard of an esim before.
can you do a video for Android to IPhone simcard transfer to eSim?
does anyone know if this will work for prepaid tmobile plans?
Got anything to transfer from Android to iphone 14?
thanks
I tried this today but the t-mobile website didn't let me upgrade to eSIM. It sent me to a local store or to call customer care to do it.
Does does this work to transfer from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 14?
Hi, can you transfer back the number to physical sim so that it can be used again to other devices?
I think you gotta call your carrier to do it
That is logically not possible
Yes, you can. You just need to buy a physical SIM card from T-Mobile and then follow the tutorial in the second half of the video using T-Mobile’s website. Just select “physical SIM” instead of “eSIM.
T-mobile is great store they very helpfull
None of these work for TMoible prepaid plan
If you purchase an new iPhone, the easiest way to transfer everything is just follow the instructions on the screen on your new and existing iPhone.
Mine says eSIM not supported
it did not work

Yes!

You want the unlocked version.
