Questions about eSIMs (do they expire before being activated?)

matt55 — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 07:58:29 GMT

Looking at getting a 12 mini when they're released next month and will be moving from my current X and would be looking at changing from my current physical SIM to an eSIM so I can get a 2nd line, I feel bad giving my work number out when companies request my number but then never answering as it's my work phone, haha!

What's the process for this, can I request an eSIM pack online now then activate it when I get the new phone or do I need to use it in a certain period of time once I get it (ala the 30 days a PAC is valid for)

@matt55 Where are you getting the 12 from ? If it’s from EE will only work on EE, after 6 months you can request it to be unlocked so you can then use the other sim slot on a different network. The QR code has no expiry date until it is used.
