I think they have to manually assign it and activate it. As others suggested, it will be activated when it arrives?

That’s what I am understanding
But last year lots of people converted to ESim and it worked fine. I was going to do it but I called AT&T to send me a brand new 5G SIM Card which they did. Can't do that anymore this year.

My parents have Verizon service my dad has a 10s and my mom has a 12 Pro and they don't have a option for convert to ESIM eitherDang! I have to contact AT&T for this. Step 2.

Just tried to convert my wife’s to eSim with Verizon and did not see the option. She’s not phased by new devices so we’ll activate hers when she’s “ready”. Me on the other hand, I’ve been on eSIM

my 12 Pro Max was unlocked when I got and I just moved the sim card over from my 11 Pro Max to the 12 Pro Max
My dads 10s is locked to Verizon - but my moms is a unlocked iPhone 12 Pro

Do you want me to? Just like the good old days? I remember waiting for @beach bum to wake up every day for a while 😆
I cancelled all my meetings tomorrow cause I figured it might be a restless night and I’ll be groggy tomorrow. 😂

I ran into this exact thing and Apple support didn't have a clue. I ended up selecting the ATT option for both, assuming that the phone number is just referring to the main phone number on the account.

I hope it will be easy- I think if you can convert- I wonder if this would work if you just setup the new iPhone and get it setup and see if you just transfer it over that way
Oh yeah, she would post sometime around 3:30 AM. This time I'm not going to be up late hungry. I want tacos, pizza, snacks, Cheetos, Oreos, and so on. Bring it!

Just be cool, yo. It'll work out fine when you open up that new 14PM.
I agree. 100%. eSim just scares me, LOL. Isn't it all cloud based sim cards? It's so weird.

I'm in west LA and it's hot AF! It's never this hot here, been like this for a week now. After Saturday it drops way down, I can't wait.

Yeah, at least you guys have the Pacific Ocean. We don't have that luxury. Although, I am missing the beach. The funny thing is I just got back from a 3-day vacation.

One thing I hate, not that my reason is morally sound, but I hate losing the ability to take my sim out of my phone and putting it into my iPad which keeps me from eating up my tethering limits. Also I like to have a second phone every now and then and it made it easier to switch back and forth between phones.
@iDarth_Betar Needs some help, folks! Finding a hard time deciding which iPhone to order. Pro or Pro Max. My motto is go big or go home. Plus, you get that extra screen ratio and bigger battery life.

It used to be 3am for the East coast a few years back.
