The iPhone 14 was the first iPhone series to go eSIM-only in the United States. If you bought an iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, or 14 Pro Max in the US, there is no physical SIM card tray — eSIM is your only cellular option.
Key Takeaways
- iPhone 14 introduced eSIM-only design for US models.
- All four models support Dual eSIM (two active lines).
- International versions include a nano-SIM slot.
- Your phone must be carrier-unlocked for Roamix to work.
Does the iPhone 14 Support eSIM?
Yes. Every iPhone 14 model supports eSIM. US models are eSIM-only — Apple removed the physical SIM tray starting with the iPhone 14, making it the first mainstream smartphone in the US to do so. This means there is no nano-SIM slot at all on US iPhone 14 units.
International iPhone 14 models (purchased in Europe, Asia, or most other regions) include both a nano-SIM tray and eSIM, so one physical SIM and one eSIM can be active simultaneously.

How to Activate eSIM on iPhone 14
- Open Settings.
- Tap Cellular, then Add Cellular Plan.
- Scan the QR code from your eSIM provider. Roamix sends the QR code by email within 60 seconds of purchase.
- Label the plan (e.g., "Roamix Travel").
- When asked, select the Roamix line as your cellular data line.
- Keep your home carrier line on for calls and texts.
The entire installation takes about 3 minutes on a stable Wi-Fi connection.
Using Two Lines on iPhone 14
Dual eSIM on iPhone 14 lets you run a home line and a travel line simultaneously. The recommended travel setup:
- Home carrier: Calls and texts. Data Roaming turned off.
- Roamix eSIM: Primary data line. Data Roaming turned on.
Set this up at Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data, then configure each line's roaming individually.
iPhone 14 eSIM for International Travel
Roamix works on any unlocked iPhone 14. Buy a plan, scan the QR code, and your phone connects to a local network when you land. Plans cover 190+ countries. Top-ups are available from your dashboard without reinstalling.
Carrier unlock check: Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock. Contact your carrier if locked.
iPhone 14 eSIM Troubleshooting
"Add Cellular Plan" missing: Usually a carrier lock issue. Verify Carrier Lock status and contact your carrier.
QR code won't scan: Stable Wi-Fi required. Try Enter Details Manually with the SM-DP+ address from your Roamix email if the scan fails.
No service after activation: Set Roamix as data line (Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data). Enable Data Roaming for the Roamix line. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off.
How to transfer eSIM to new iPhone 14: Use iPhone Quick Transfer during device setup, or Settings → Cellular → [plan] → Transfer or Set Up on Another Device. Some carriers also support remote eSIM transfer.
iPhone 14 Series eSIM — Frequently Asked Questions
Does iPhone 14 have eSIM?
Yes. All iPhone 14 models — iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max — support eSIM. US models purchased after September 2022 are eSIM-only with no physical SIM tray. International models include both a nano-SIM slot and eSIM.
Is the iPhone 14 Pro Max eSIM compatible?
Yes. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is fully eSIM-compatible and supports Dual eSIM. US models have no physical SIM tray, so eSIM is the only option for cellular service.
How do I activate eSIM on iPhone 14?
Go to Settings → Cellular → Add Cellular Plan. Scan the QR code from your eSIM provider. The plan installs over Wi-Fi and activates when you arrive at your destination.
How do I set up eSIM on iPhone 14 Pro Max?
The setup is identical on all iPhone 14 models: Settings → Cellular → Add Cellular Plan → scan QR code. The 14 Pro Max supports Dual eSIM so you can keep your home number active alongside the travel eSIM.
How do I transfer eSIM from Android to iPhone 14?
You cannot transfer an eSIM directly from Android to iPhone — the eSIM profile is bound to the original device. Contact your carrier or eSIM provider to deactivate the old eSIM and issue a new QR code for your iPhone 14.
How do I unlock eSIM on iPhone 14?
eSIM unlock means carrier unlock. Check Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock. If your iPhone 14 is carrier-locked, contact your carrier and request an unlock. Once unlocked, you can use any eSIM including Roamix.
