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

[zanthony]

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?
