Hi,
I recently activated an account for my wife and chose to use esim. Unfortunately, I activated it in my phone instead of hers. I read the forum and that I should buy an esim using her phone and pay $5 + tax inorder to transfer to her phone. Is there a way to get credited for $5 for an honest mistake?

You might be able to transfer it for free and you can try if it works, if not then you can ask agent.
1. Install Public Mobile App on your wife's phone
2. Login with her credentials (I hope that's what you did on your phone)
3. Go to Account - Change your sim card and purchase eSim
4. At this point you'll see if you are charged or not.
In the past, once I was charged, once I wasn't for the same thing..

You cannot transfer eSIM from one phone to the other. You must download the Public Mobile App to the phone that requires it and purchase the eSIM that way.
Public mobile doesnt normally give refunds but you can ask and reference your honest mistake.
Please use this link to the Public Mobile Chat Bot which will direct you to creating a trackable ticket.

You could try contacting an agent by ticket or private message (CS_Agent) and see if they could do anything about it.
