Should I do it on my laptop or phone app?

So far so good and just want to make sure all stays this way. I set up my Publuc Mobile account with porting my number and I was up and running within 10 minutes. To switch to an eSIM doesn’t seem straightforward. Couldn’t find the link that says switch to eSIM .  I see something like “ can’t wait for sim buy an eSIM “. I’m already up and running with a SIM card . 
After some tense moments my sim was successfully switched to an eSIM. Now who do I thank and bravo?

To buy new eSIM , first, download the app on your new phone.  Click Account from the bottom, then click Purchase SIM Card and select eSIM

Once it confirms your phone is eSIM compatible, click Pay $  and Installand follow the prompt to complete and purchase and install eSIM on your device

@Immune 

think strategically about eSim. If you ever decide to upgrade to a new cellphone, you need a new esim whereas a hard sim can just be removed from old cell and installed in most new cells that accept hard sims. I see no reason to have a PM eSim really...no benefit.

@Immune  probably best on the app , just log in and buy eSIM and install that’s it and reboot your phone afterwards

You have to use the phone app.
