How do I activate an iPhone with eSIM if I don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network?

Important: Please allow 5 minutes after purchase before trying to activate your eSIM.

If you have an iPhone 14 series or later, you can now set up an eSIM without being on Wi-Fi. During the setup process, simply choose to continue without Wi-Fi. This allows you to set up your new eSIM without Wi-Fi at no cost to you.

For older iPhone models, Wi-Fi is strongly recommended. Please consider utilizing free Wi-Fi access from a local library or coffee shop. You can also connect through a Wi-Fi hotspot to activate. Once your eSIM is set up, you will be able to use your device without Wi-Fi going forward.
