Reactivating a SIM

[aff5n]

Yeah so basically, on my iphone 11 i have a physical SIM, but then i got the 16PM and got it to transfer it electronically, but i had to factory reset the phone. I deleted the eSIM just before. Now i’m back on my 11, how do i reactivate it ? so the iphone 16pm is gone and the 11 is still with me with the physical SIM inside, tried doing the eSIM transfer on the app but it says it sends a code to the number, but the number is not valid on any phone currently..

@aff5n  you have to request a replacement sim.  The one you have is bin fodder after you requested it to be changed to the eSIM .

See the advice here on obtaining a replacement SIM in the case of deletion: https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/getting-started/sim/what-is-a-sim-swap

would the replacement SIM have the same number as my current one ?

A replacement SIM maintains your same number yes.

Follow the link in my reply above for instructions on how to obtain one.
