- Power on your iPhone
- Connect to Wi-Fi and log in with your Apple ID
- Complete initial setup
- Select the mobile number to transfer
- Enter the OTP received on your old iPhone into the new iPhone
- Cellular service will be configured automatically.

11. My eSIM is installed but I can’t make calls or use data?
Please ensure:
- Your eSIM is successfully activated
- The eSIM profile is set as your Primary line for data and calls
- VoLTE is enabled on your device
If the issue persists, try restarting your phone or contact Customer Support.
12. I lost my phone with the eSIM or accidentally deleted it.
Contact us immediately so we can block your line. When you’re ready, we’ll help you set up a new eSIM on your replacement device.
13. What happens after I complete my eSIM switch purchase?
Once your purchase is successful, your existing SIM will be deactivated. Look out for an email from us with the subject: "Your CelcomDigi eSIM activation info is ready." Check your junk/spam folder if you don’t see it.
14. What if I find out my phone doesn’t support eSIM after purchase?
