I ordered an e-sim on EEfor my iPhone 16 pro max on wed 24th June and as part of the application process submitted my pac code to keep my phone number from smarty

thurs 25 June order was accepted and was given a temporary EE number

when will the transfer take place from Smarty to EE

do I need to to link my phone to the ee app and download my temporary number eSIM to start the transfer process and when can I start using my original number on EE

@pinkpanther6666 Number migrations don’t happen over the weekend it’s possible it could be completed Monday more likely Tuesday though.

You'll need to activate the SIM before the transfer process is initiated.

If this is done during working hours on a working day, the transfer should complete on the following working day.

Hopefully EE have activated the e-Sim as I can’t put the code on my phone through the linking phone to my account as I’m getting an e-sim

catch 22 I think
