class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compatible iPhone models. <\/strong>Make sure both your old and new iPhones are <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/how-to\/esim-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>eSIM-compatible<\/strong><\/a>. iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and later models support eSIM, although availability can vary by country or region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile provider support for eSIM transfer.<\/strong> Not all mobile providers support eSIM Quick Transfer. If yours doesn&#8217;t, you may need to contact your provider for a QR code, activation link or other setup instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stable internet connection (if applicable). <\/strong>For iPhone models before the iPhone 14 series, you\u2019ll need a stable WiFi or cellular connection to complete the eSIM transfer. The iPhone 14 series and newer <strong>can transfer eSIMs to new phones without an internet connection, <\/strong>thanks to improved built-in features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-transfer-an-eSIM-from-one-iPhone-to-another\"><\/span>How to transfer an eSIM from one iPhone to another<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re upgrading to a new iPhone or just switching devices, there are several ways to move your eSIM. The easiest option is eSIM Quick Transfer, if your mobile provider supports it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Transfer your eSIM using Quick Transfer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>eSIM <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/102659\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Quick Transfer<\/strong><\/a> lets you transfer a mobile plan from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone without contacting your mobile provider, if the provider supports the feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start, Apple says both iPhones should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be signed in to your Apple Account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be nearby with Bluetooth turned on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have iOS 18.4 or later installed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have your previous iPhone unlocked with its device passcode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To transfer your eSIM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On your new iPhone, open Settings &gt; Mobile Service and tap Set Up Mobile or Add eSIM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the mobile plan you want to transfer from your previous iPhone.
