Changing from eSIM to physical SIM

[Umiamz]

I requested a physical SIM card to replace the eSIM in my iPhone a couple of days ago. I'm still waiting for the physical SIM to arrive (delayed due to postal worker strikes) but this morning my eSIM appears to have been disconnected.

I seem to remember that last time I did this, part of the activation of the new SIM involved texting a code to my number. Is this still the case? How can this be done if my eSIM has already been disconnected?

@Umiamz  Sounds like your number has already been ported to the new SIM card.

@Chris_B Yes, I was wondering if this was what had happened. Fingers crossed, then...

Replacement SIM card finally arrived today and worked straight away.
