Transfering eSIM to another iPhone using Apple’s built in feature


Hi, I noticed that Apple offers a built-in feature to transfer eSIMs between iPhones using Bluetooth (Transfer from Nearby iPhone).

 

I was wondering — does iD Mobile support this type of eSIM transfer between devices, or would I always need to request a new QR code if I want to move my eSIM to another iPhone?

 

Just asking to know what the process should be in future and it would be very helpful for me. Thanks!

Unfortunately, that feature isn’t currently supported. When switching iPhones, you’ll need to request a replacement eSIM via your online account.

Think only EE support eSIM transfers in the U.K.

Hey there ​@Nahla, as kindly advised by ​@WelshPaul & ​@MZone, we don’t support eSIM transers I’m afraid.

 

Thanks,
