Other Activate simless iPhone XS?

Going to get the simless iPhone XS Max, first time buying a simless phone, do I just call or text T-mobile to activate?

The eSIM will be a feature introduced later this year.

Yes, the phones will be available. The eSIM functionality won't be immediately available, if I recall Apple's keynote correctly.

Edit: Here's the support article for Dual SIM / eSIM functionality:

Under the What You Need section:

- A iPhone Xs or iPhone Xs Max with an update to iOS 12 coming later this year

Just put your current sim in until they activate esims at a later date.

Without the eSim, then I would just put my own T-mobile sim to activate?

Ok, got it, was somehow thinking it did not have a sim slot at all.
