New Esim not activating

DeanC — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 14:40:07 GMT

I've received a new phone and want to transfer my eSim to the new phone.

Since it's not possible to transfer the sim I have requested a new one, got the QR code and activation PIN but everytime I try and activate it fails.

Have tried a different handset and also retried generating a new eSIM but neither work.

I have also installed other eSIMS before without issue (and indeed the last SIM I had from Sky was an eSIM) so its not an error on my side.

Any ideas on what to do?

I'd be happy to take a physical SIM instead but dont have that option in my account any more.

I finally managed to get it working, it appears that even when I requested a new SIM the one issued (which had a date and time stamp on it) was from yesterday. So I used the confirmation code sent to me yesterday (instead of the one sent today) and that worked and allowed me to install the eSIM.

How did you see the time and date stamp of the esim mate?
