esim not work with my phone, but I already purchased the $39 plan

honeypizza — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 01:02:57 GMT

Finally it said esim is not working with my Samsung S20Fe, but I had already finished the payment of "$39 plan with esim".

Can I get the refund first and then purchase again?

Or how can I do now?

Thanks!

@honeypizza don't give up yet, probably just one more step

Did you get to the eSIM installation step? Either the app will ask for your permission to do it for you, or you can get the QR code to install yourself.

If you missed the step to install by the app, there is a QR code in your Welcome email. Open it from a computer, or another device, then use your phone to scan it to install the eSIM profile on your phone.

Once you installed the eSIM profile, (or If you got passed that step eSIM installation step), try to reboot your phone once.

If it still does not connect and if you have another active sim on the phone, disable those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim) using the SIM Manager on the phone or simply remove the physical sim.

And make sure the one associated with PM sim and your phone number is enabled.
(On iPhone: Settings->Cellular , make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on)

Then click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work. (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetooth connections, but you just need to add them back after). Also, it is possible you have to reset it multiple times for it to work.

if it still does not work, Please open ticket with PM support by private message:

I didnt find any QR code in the Welcome email. The app showed "Phone is not ESIM compatible".

I checked from google it said Samsung S20Fe is ok with esim, but now you said its not. Im confused.

Can I just cancel the order or can u charge me the normal card and mail to me?

thanks @will13am for confirming

@honeypizza in such case, you will need to get a physical sim from local Telus/Koodo store. Then login My Account and go to Profile page to change sim and change to the physical sim you got

Sorry for my silly question

@honeypizza

you can change it back from eSIM to Physical sim card

Get a PM sim card from:

local Telus/Koodo/Mobile Klinik stores: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/pick-up-SIM (call ahead to confirm availability )
Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07R6P5KBB/ (Free Prime Shipping)
PM online: https://www.publicmobile.ca/sim-card (Delivery could take anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks)

Once you got the sim card, go to My Account from ONLY a desktop or laptop computer to request Change Sim card (please note that due to some glitches, accessing change sim care from mobile phone or tablet won't work)

Then go to Profile page, click on the Pencil besides the sim card number, follow the steps to enter the new sim card number and complete the change sim card request
(or direct link: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/profile/change-sim-number )

@honeypizza
