No activation?

jberroa — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:22:04 GMT

ive switched to PM yesterday. since then I have not been able to activate my eSim. ive received texts from my previous provider and PB to activate but am unable to receive or send text messages.

I think it kind of ridiculous that there is no support when needed and is impossible to get through to what you need using the chat bot. in addition, i am unable to submit a ticket as I get an error message or the page crashes when I press submit ticket

@jberroa

Is data and calling working?
If you reply to your previous carrier with YES confirming you are porting over to PM.

Contact a CS_Agent to help you complete the porting:

@jberroa

eSIM can be confusing

because you have 2 sim enabled and caused the confusion

what you want is to disable PM esim first (but do not delete), then re-enable your old provider sim. Then call PM poring team and ask them to retrigger the porting request. I will send you the phone number to your community inbox

after you called PM poring team, you will get a text from your old provider, reply Yes. Then wait 2 to 3 hours , and you can then disable old provider sim and reenable PM sim, and then reboot and reset network settings
