eSIM not working after activation

[Laurajane1984]

Hi I have activated my new sky mobile eSIM and it says it's all activated and ready to go but it's not showing any available data ect , i activated the eSIM on the 6th jan , the only way to use the sim is to roll over from another sim I have with sky, I'm not sure what I've done or not done but everything seems to say it's ready to use but its definitely not working 

thank you

I have this same issue can u explain what they said to fix it?

[Laurajane1984]

Not a lot to be honest, they can't find a problem there end so all they can suggest is tryinging a proper sim rather than an eSIM 

[RedPanda3946]

How can I get them to give me a proper sim in place of the eSIM?

[Laurajane1984]

You can go onto your account and under the sim option change from eSIM to normal sim then they send one or just call them , so far tho that hasn't worked so I'm not sure what else to try as they can't see a problem from there side, it shows what I should have but from my end none of the data etc is available on my phone

How strange I have the data but I can't text and calls work sometimes

Still no success after speaking to sky multiple times. So  I'm paying for a sim card that is unusable from day one!
