Buying one through Apple online at the moment, but it’s roughly $1300 with taxes. So I have myself a little nervous at the cost. Thanks in advance for answering. 👍

    If you have an existing iPhone with T-Mobile, you can activate it with your previous phone which is much easier than calling customer support.

      (As far as I know) That technically isn’t directly from iphone to iphone, it needs tmobile servers to approve the transfer (since they’re gonna see different imei), but who knows what weird policies tmobile might have, hopefully, they don’t also require a customer service chat to do an iphone to iphome esim transfer.

        Oh I’m saying this because I personally did this from an iPhone XS with a physical sim to a new iPhone with only eSIMs, so at least in my experience this works.

          Hopefully.

          Some carriers are a bit unhinged and doesn’t even let you move a physical sim into another phone without their approval (remember, they see your device’s imei). I could think of Tracfone, Metro, probably many others. Corporations be silly with silly rules for no reasons.
