iPhone 14 US

Hi All,

I'm going to get an iPhone 14 pro from the US as it's slightly cheaper there, but I know the US models do not have a sim slot.

My question is, therefore, is it easy to move my current SIM card to an eSIM only? I'm actually with another provider at the moment, but I'll port my number on to O2 on a physical SIM on a SIMO contract if it makes the process easier.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that should work fine but do get a physical sim first.

Thanks for your reply @MI5.

I had a follow up question. I have an o2 physical SIM now, should I request an eSIM transfer now so I get the QR code, and does this expire after a certain time?

I ask because I would like to transfer my number while I am out there if that's possible.

Thanks,

If you request an esim now, O2 will disconnect your physical sim immediately, so you will be without a phone until the esim arrives which you'll need to activate in the UK. You cannot then transfer this to a different phone, so in short, wait until you get the phone back home.
