An iPhone can use a Chile travel eSIM when the exact model supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked. Add the profile on reliable Wi-Fi before departure when the plan permits advance installation.
Menu wording varies by iOS version and region, but the essential tasks are adding the eSIM, labelling it and selecting it for mobile data.
NoveSIM Chile plans are data-only. We do not provide a local number, conventional calls or SMS.
Quick answer: Open Settings → Cellular/Mobile Service → Add eSIM, scan the QR code, label the line and select it for cellular data after arrival. Enable data roaming for the eSIM if required.

Select the correct data line
Choose the Chile eSIM for cellular data and turn off cellular-data switching if you do not want the iPhone to fall back to the primary SIM. Enable data roaming on the travel line when required.
