My eSIM transfer has failed and now I have no service

Yesterday I received a  QR code to transfer my eSIM to a new phone.

 

After following all the steps and no having service on either phone I went to online chat and they told me the QR scan had failed!

 

Now I don’t have a working phone line while I wait for another QR code to arrive.

 

BTW the transfer process requires a SMS to be sent to the old phone. How’s that going to work if I don’t have an active line?

 

On top of that, the person from online chat didn’t offer any compensation at all for this service disruption.

Hi @aseelhamoud,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

What problems are you experiencing with your eSIM?

James

Hi James

I have used the My Ee app to set up my esim. I get to the verification text but none are coming through. I may be a bit dumb but I have a micro sim in my iPhone 11 which is through BT and the esim is via yourselves. Can you please help?  Kindest Regards Carwyn

Hello @Carwynba

Welcome to the community. 

Does your EE physical SIM still work?

Katie

Hi yes the nano sim is working but the esim is showing in the settings part of my iPhone but without the phone number. Can’t get the activation 6 digits. Can it be emailed to me? Am I doing something wrong? Kind Regards Carwyn

Hi @Carwynba

When you are trying to activate the eSIM do you have the physical SIM inserted?

Activation codes can't be sent via email. 

Katie

Yes I do have it inserted and it is my primary number. Kind Regards Carwyn
