Phone Broke abroad with eSIM - what do I do?!

[Hbhbhbhb]

Hi all, I really appreciate any advice on this topic as I'm a bit lost. I am currently in Singapore and I dropped my pixel - it hit wrong and the screen flashed for a bit then went black. I am going to buy a new phone tomorrow, but I had an eSIM and the physical SIM is back in the UK. I won't be returning home for 3 weeks and I have absolutely no idea how to active an eSIM on a new device. Anyone been in a similar position?

If there was a technical solution to this catch-22 scenario, then previous replies would have offered it!

Thanks Chris. I did thus far have an eSIM (in a broken phone) but is it
possible to replace with a physical SIM?
Thanks

You can change from an eSIM to a physical SIM @light_clover, it will cut off the eSIM and activate your number on the physical SIM, ready to go when you receive it.

As mentioned previously, it would need to be sent to your UK address and have someone to collect it, pop it in a phone to activate and then ship it on to you.

I'd recommend also setting a SIM PIN if you go with this method to add an extra security layer when posting a SIM.
