Converting sim to eSIM for new customer

Al165

I’m a new ee customer so haven’t activated my sim as I have an iPhone 15 which doesn't support physical SIM cards, so wanting an eSIM. When I try and order a replacement on app it says I’ll need to confirm a pin they’ll send to my new number to set it up. How do I do this if I can’t even activate my physical sim?

@Al165  If you have the US version of the iPhone you are correct it doesn’t support a physical SIM card,  you can put the sim in to a phone that does.  If you have a none US iPhone it’ll take a SIM card. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

The UK-version of the iPhone 15 does support physical SIM - see the below screenshot from https://support.apple.com/en-gb/118569

@Al165 , ESim only available for customers on contract not pay as you go, so you would need a phone that supports na physical SIM card as has already been mentioned.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using web based app or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.
