JuleeV

Ordered eSIM, the app ask for IMEI number but never see the eSIM been activated. I tried to order physical sim but when I plug them in they don’t activate either. Waste 10 days for not able to use anything. And now I don’t know how to cancel because I can’t reach anyone. Pls help!

if you want to change to Physical sim, you need to engage PM support and ask them to update the sim card number for you.  private message CS Agent using this link:

But if you used the PM app and reached the last step of the activation (Step 6), the eSIM should be there already.  There is a chance that the eSIM just not properly enabled. Try these steps:

On Android:  Check your Sim Card Manager and see if a Public Mobile eSim is there.  If so, make sure it is enabled.  

On iPhone: check Settings > Celluar and see if the eSIM is there.  If it is, make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on

 

if you don't see the Public Mobile esim there, check the Welcome email, there should be a QR code for the esim for you to scan and install manually.  If you cannot find it in Inbox of your email, check also the Spam box.

If the Public Mobile eSIM is there, disable or delete those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim). 
If the non-PM sim is physical, remove it.  If the non-PM sim is an esim, disable using the SIM Manager on the phone (or set as Secondary and turn off "Turn on this line" for this non-PM esim)  

Then reboot the phone and 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.

Sorry to hear that.

Did you message agents yet?

Check your inbox. For their response.  I think people were waiting about 5 days last week.
