Hi,
I'd like to do some initial data transfer and setup before i move the sim card over, how can i skip the sim setup step when doing the initial setup on a new S26 Ultra device

I only have 2 options on the screen during setup:
1. transfer from another android
2. Scan QR code

Definitely me to . Its late and I cant get any support.   This should not be this difficult.  Contacted Samsung support they insisted i put in the Sim before I transfer yet everything im reading  including salesman told me to wait until I knew all transferred ect.
