@Lucek2050 : Activating an eSIM demobilises its physical SIM. It's 1 or the other, not both.

@Lucek2050 Activating the eSim moves the information from the physical SIM card to the eSim. You can only have one sim with a number whether that’s a physical sim or an eSIM. If you want to use a sim in a different device then you need to get another SIM card and that will have its own number

- Old SIM deleted - cant access new esim in SIM cards & Porting
- Not receiving EE email(s) to allow linkage of eSIM to EE Account in SIM cards & Porting
- eSIM in SIM cards & Porting
- I have new esims QRCODE I don't know how I can activate it in SIM cards & Porting
- pac codes whilst roaming on an esim in SIM cards & Porting
