@Mambojerry Did you activate roaming on your account because you left the UK ? If you did is that device unlocked to use any network SIM card ? If your sim doesn’t work and roaming was enabled then having a eSIM will not make it work. You also cannot activate an eSIM while outside the UK especially if roaming isn’t enabled on your account.

Hello @Mambojerry.
Thanks so much for coming here.
I am sorry to hear your phone has been stolen in Colombia.
Are you still currently abroad?
If yes, is the phone you are putting your EE SIM into unlocked?

Did your phone work in Colombia between you arriving and it being stolen?
