Hi
Just a quick question. Ive confused myself really and not sure why I even did it, just curious I suppose! š¤·š»āāļø I just converted my nano sim to esim on iphone 12(dunno why) but I dont need the function. If I delete the esim now will the physical sim then be useless. What Iām asking really is will it just return my phone to how it was before the esim activation or will I have to order a replacement sim? Thankyou.
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@delloy , you will have to request a replacement SIM card, or if you are near an EE high street store go in there with a photo ID and you can get a replacement SIM card from there. Just to let you know, that if you request a replacement SIM card, it will come via second class post and cost Ā£1.50, but in store, there will be no cost and done straight away.
If you still have the physical SIM card, you could try ringing customer service and see if they can activate it, not sure whether that is possible.
