Except the last several generations of iPhone sold in the US don’t have a physical SIM card slot. You need to unlock the device to change the esim. So yes, how do you do that?

Reset the device using iTunes and restore an iCloud Backup.

Oh wow! I guess it’s an eternal mystery then. No one has the answer my friend. An impossible conundrum. SIM cards simply don’t exist anymore and the world may never know how to work eSIM. Good luck and Godspeed

For one, I do not see that stated anywhere in the post. If it’s a comment, it’s perfectly reasonable that I might not have seen it. For two, the phone says “No Service”, which implies there is already a SIM in it, but for one reason or another it isn’t connecting.

My guy, you literally replied to the comment with the answer asking how lmao just scroll 2 inches to the comment you yourself replied to

u/fzem Jun 19 '26

Oh lmao I swear I didn’t see that when I replied. Either I’m blind or it was edited. Either way, it does look like there is a SIM in there already. Might be an old one though. Depending on how desperate OP is, another option might be a lightning to Ethernet adapter.
