Both phones need Bluetooth on and the same Apple Account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Skip a prerequisite and you land with a shiny new phone and a number that won\u2019t follow it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">How do you transfer an eSIM from an old iPhone to a new iPhone?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Use Transfer from Nearby iPhone, either on the setup screens of the new phone or afterward in Settings. Apple\u2019s own words say it works when your carrier is on board: \u201cIf your carrier supports eSIM Quick Transfer, you can transfer the SIM from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone without contacting them.\u201d (Apple Support, 2026)<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">During setup, the new iPhone asks about your phone number. Follow the onscreen prompts to transfer your physical SIM or eSIM (Apple Support, 2026). AT&amp;T\u2019s guide for the iPhone 17e describes the same moment: on the Update Your iPhone Automatically screen, tap Continue, then tap Transfer from iPhone, and follow the prompts on your other device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Already past setup? Apple\u2019s published steps for the Settings route, in Apple\u2019s order:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"list-decimal list-inside mb-4 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Open the Settings app on your new iPhone.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Tap Cellular.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Tap Set Up Cellular or Add eSIM.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Choose a cellular plan to transfer from another iPhone. If you don\u2019t see a list of numbers, tap Transfer From Nearby iPhone.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Follow the instructions on your previous iPhone. To confirm, tap Transfer, or, if prompted for a verification code, enter the code that your new iPhone displays.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Wait for the cellular plan to activate on your new iPhone. The cellular plan on your new iPhone deactivates your previous SIM when it activates.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">If a banner appears on your new iPhone that says Finish Setting Up Your Carrier\u2019s Cellular Plan, tap it. You will be redirected to your carrier\u2019s webpage to transfer your eSIM. If you need help, contact your carrier.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Source: Apple Support, \u201cSet up eSIM on iPhone\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Seven steps, one phone in your hand. Then you\u2019re back to the trip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">What do you need before you move an eSIM to a new phone?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Two unlocked phones, close together, with Bluetooth on and the same Apple Account signed in on both. Set that up first and the transfer stops being a guessing game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Apple\u2019s checklist, before you begin (Apple Support, 2026):<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-disc list-inside mb-4 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"ml-4\">You\u2019re signed in to both devices with your Apple Account<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Your previous iPhone with the device passcode is unlocked<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Both devices are nearby with Bluetooth turned on<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4\">Both devices are on iOS 18.4 or later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Installing a new Maya eSIM on the new phone has its own short list. You need a working Wi-Fi or cellular internet connection before you install, because the eSIM is verified and activated over that connection. The phone must be unlocked and eSIM-compatible, which means carrier unlocked. Check the Maya compatibility list to confirm your phone is eSIM ready.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">What do you do when Transfer from Nearby iPhone doesn\u2019t appear?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">If your carrier doesn\u2019t support eSIM Quick Transfer, the option isn\u2019t offered. Use your carrier\u2019s iOS app, scan the QR code the carrier gives you, or enter the activation details by hand under Settings &gt; Cellular &gt; Add eSIM. eSIM Quick Transfer is for carrier lines. A Maya eSIM stays on the device it was installed on: you can re-install it on that same device, but not on a different one. To move unused days to a new phone, contact Maya support, and a support agent can move the plan for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Buying a new Maya eSIM for the new phone instead? The install steps are short. On iOS, the automatic method starts in the Maya Mobile app: go to Home, select the eSIM, choose Installation Instructions, tap Install eSIM Now, and follow the on-screen prompts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Need the manual activation code instead? Log in to your Maya Mobile account, click My eSIMs, click Install eSIM under the plan, then click Manual Activation Code on the pop-up. Copy the code and enter it on the device when prompted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">You can also find the code from the related eSIM in your account, through the eSIM, the Settings icon &gt; Manage eSIM, or Manage eSIM. Open the Installation tab, where the QR code and manual activation code are both shown.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">What happens to the eSIM on your old phone after the transfer?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">For a carrier line moved with Quick Transfer, Apple\u2019s answer is that the cellular plan on your new iPhone deactivates your previous SIM when it activates. A Maya eSIM doesn\u2019t move that way: it stays on the old phone it was installed on.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">When should you ask Maya Mobile for help moving your eSIM?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Ask Maya as soon as you change phones with unused days left on a Maya plan: the eSIM can\u2019t be re-installed on a different device, and a support agent can help move your plan to the new one. Ask too when a new Maya eSIM won\u2019t install. Our help center holds the installation and troubleshooting steps, and support is the next step when those don\u2019t clear it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">If the eSIM is installed but you have no data, start with roaming and the data line. On iOS, open Settings &gt; Cellular (it may be called Mobile or Mobile Service), select the eSIM plan, and make sure Turn On This Line and Roaming Data are both ON. Then tap Cellular Data and make sure the eSIM is selected. On Samsung, go to Settings &gt; Connections &gt; Mobile Networks and confirm Data Roaming is ON, then tap SIM Card Manager and select the eSIM plan for Mobile Data. On Google Pixel, go to Settings &gt; Network and Internet &gt; SIMs, select the eSIM plan, and enable Data Roaming and Mobile Data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Android only: if there\u2019s still no data connection, check the APN. Go to Settings &gt; Mobile &amp; Network (on Samsung: Settings &gt; Connections &gt; Mobile Networks), tap the eSIM plan, then Access Point Names, then Menu and New APN. Enter \u201cglobaldata\u201d in the APN field, without quotes, and clear any username or password, since only the APN name is required. Then select the new APN and restart the device to reset the mobile network. Updating the APN is not required unless it\u2019s specifically provided in your eSIM Activation Email.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Still stuck? Open a request through the help center, email support@maya.net, or start a live chat on maya.net. We\u2019ll get back to you soon, and you can get back to your trip.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">Which travel eSIM should you set up on your new phone before your next trip?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Each provider\u2019s own published plan structure and pricing sits side by side here, so you can compare how each is sold before you install anything on the new phone. Every cell carries the company\u2019s own published statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-1 mb-4 overflow-x-auto\">\n<table class=\"min-w-full border-collapse border border-slate-200\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">Travel eSIM<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">How plans are sold<\/th>\n<th class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-left font-medium text-slate-900 bg-slate-50\">Unlimited plan allowance, as published<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\"><strong>Maya Mobile<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">One Global eSIM for 165+ countries, unlimited data at a flat price by trip length: USD 9.99 for 3 days, USD 19.99 for 7 days, USD 27.99 for 14 days, USD 49.99 for 30 days<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\"><strong>A daily high-speed data allowance (the Daily Quota) at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it, reset every 24 hours; unlimited data at standard speed once the Daily Quota is used<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Airalo<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Per country, per region, or one global plan; priced in USD<\/td>\n<td class=\"border border-slate-200 px-4 py-3 text-slate-700\">Our unlimited data packages don\u2019t have a fixed total data cap.

A one-star Trustpilot review of aloSIM from August 13, 2026, by Osman D., reads: \u201cNo Russian manuals available. I purchased aloSIM for my family while they were traveling, but none of them could set up the eSIM. As an experienced Windows and Android user, I could have probably figured it out by trial and error, but my family couldn\u2019t. It\u2019s way too complicated with English-only instructions. Plus, after my payment successfully processed, the app still asked me to buy the plan again. # update since you are planning to add Russian instructions, I\u2019ll give aloSIM another try. My family is heading to Turkey at the end of August, and if everything goes well, I\u2019ll update my review to 5 stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">How Maya keeps one eSIM on your phone for every trip<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Install one Maya eSIM and it stays on that phone permanently, with no need to delete or reinstall it between trips. For each trip you buy a new plan and go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Pick 3, 7, 14 or 30 days, from USD 9.99. Every plan has unlimited data across 165+ countries at one flat price, the same in France as in Japan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Need more days? Buy another plan from the Maya app. Auto Top-Up is opt-in only and off by default, so nothing renews unless you turn it on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Mark gave Maya five stars on Trustpilot in September 2026: \u201cIve tried a number of travel eSim providers over recent years and Maya mobile are by far the best. It\u2019s simple to choose the right esim, simple to install and activate it, and should you have any issues their support is very responsive and first class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">One eSIM, one flat price, 165+ countries. New phone, same plan of attack.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-8 mb-4 font-normal text-slate-900\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">How do you move an eSIM between an iPhone and an Android phone?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Yes, if your carrier is supported. Apple lists the carriers for iPhone-to-Android transfers: USA: AT&amp;T, FirstNet, T-Mobile, Verizon; Japan: KDDI; Germany: DT-DE; France: SFR; and UK: EE (Apple Support, 2026). From an iPhone, go to Settings &gt; Cellular, tap Transfer eSIM under Transfer to Android, and scan the QR code on the Android device; once the transfer completes, the number no longer works on the iPhone. Going the other way, tap Set Up Cellular or Add eSIM on the iPhone, tap Transfer from Android, and scan the iPhone\u2019s QR code with the Android camera; the SIM on the Android deactivates afterward (Apple Support, Transfer your eSIM from Android to iPhone).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">How do you check that your new phone supports eSIM?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Open the Maya compatible devices list at maya.net\/esim-compatible-devices. It includes iPhones from the iPhone XR\/XS series through the iPhone 17 series, including iPhone Air, SE 2 (2020) and SE 3 (2022), and Google Pixel models from the Pixel 3 up to the Pixel 10 Pro. A device that isn\u2019t on the list won\u2019t work with Maya Mobile eSIM packages.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">How do you set up a Maya eSIM on a new phone?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">For a new Maya eSIM, choose the QR code method in the Maya Mobile app, scan the QR code with the device you\u2019re installing on, tap Add eSIM or Add Cellular Plan when notified, and follow the on-screen prompts on iOS. Maya marks this method as Recommended. Done! The new phone is ready.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">How do you keep a Maya plan running if you change phones during a trip?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Contact Maya support. Each eSIM can be installed on only one device, and it can\u2019t be re-installed on a different one. If you have unused days left and need to move your plan to the new phone, a support agent can help you with that.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-6 mb-3 text-lg font-normal text-slate-900\">How do you keep your home number and a travel eSIM on the same phone?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\">Maya runs alongside your existing SIM, with no SIM removal needed, and your home number and carrier plan stay unchanged. You can keep sending and receiving calls and texts on that number. On an iPhone, open Settings &gt; Cellular, turn on both lines, tap Cellular Data and pick the Maya line, then tap Default Voice Line and pick your primary line (Apple\u2019s Dual SIM steps). Use the Maya line for data only.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-6 border-slate-200\" \/>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\"><strong>Maya<\/strong> installs once on your phone and covers 165+ countries with unlimited data at a flat price by trip length, from USD 9.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-3 text-slate-700 leading-relaxed\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maya.net\" class=\"text-primary hover:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get your Maya eSIM \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to move your eSIM to a new iPhone with Transfer from Nearby iPhone, and what to check on both devices before you start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-data"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How do you transfer an eSIM to a new phone?
