How To Put Service On Iphone

Set up your cellular plan with eSIM

One of your cellular plans will use the nano-SIM and the others will use the eSIM. The eSIM is provided by T-Mobile or another carrier, which will be stored digitally on your iPhone. To activate an additional cellular plan, you can scan the QR code given by the other carrier, download a carrier app for activation, or enter the information manually. T-Mobile has it's own app, ​.

1. Go to the App Store and download the carrier app.
