https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Apple-Devices/Linking-device-to-download-eSIM/m-p/1622956#M159322 <P>Hi, I joined EE yesterday on a sim only contract and opted for an eSIM. I have received a temporary number whilst I wait for mine to be transferred. I have attempted to link my device to get the sim installed but if I put in my current number it comes up with an error, and if I put in the new number I can’t get the activation code because it’s text to that number! Can anyone help please? I could really do with not having to ring EE again as I am trying to look after my 10 month old baby and I have no signal at home (hence switching to EE!)</P> Thu, 11 Jun 2026 05:20:16 GMT KTC3007 2026-06-11T05:20:16Z https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Apple-Devices/Linking-device-to-download-eSIM/m-p/1622956#M159322 <P>Hi, I joined EE yesterday on a sim only contract and opted for an eSIM.
