How do I find PIN for eSIM after moving to new iPhone 15?

zanthony — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:05:45 GMT

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 12 with a physical SIM to an iPhone 15 with an eSIM (my phone has no physical SIM slot).

The move to the new phone went fine and all is working, but I can't configure the phone to require a PIN to activate the eSIM when I turn the phone on. This is how I had it setup before on the older iPhone and I'd like to do it again if possible, just as a precaution.

When I try to enable the SIM PIN in Settings > Mobile Service > SIM PIN it asks for a PIN, which I don't know. It isn't the PIN that I had on the old physical SIM, I've tried that.

Is there some sort of default eSIM PIN? Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Katie_B,

I have yes, but it doesn't say anything about the PIN for an eSIM. Can you help with my original question?

Cheers.

Hi @zanthony

The default SIM PIN should be 1111, could you give that a try please?
