So here is the issue. I transferred to Public Mobile a few weeks ago. Everything went well to transfer my phone number over. I initially set up using an eSIM. I much prefer a physical SIM card, so I ordered one, and received it in the mail today. I changed the SIM card number in my account to one on the physical card. I inserted the card in my iPhone SE (fully updated), disabled the eSIM, but was never able to enable to physical SIM. The "Turn On This Line" would keep toggling off. I deleted the eSIM to see if that would make a difference, but that only messed things up further. I lost the option of enabling the physical SIM altogether. All I would see was "No SIM" or "SOS Only" at the top of my screen. This is an unusual problem, as I used to have a physical SIM card for my old carrier (Virgin). I finally resorted to spending another $5 to get another eSIM, which works fine.
Anyone have any ideas as to why the physical SIM was not working? I did notice it connect to Public Mobile for a brief moment, but then go off immediately, before I could try anything. As I said before, I much prefer a physical SIM to facilitate moving between devices.
Thanks, Dustin
