Hola! It's me, ElleTheTermina messaging from my real account!
So here was the step by step solution.
1. To post in the Communities Forum, since I couldn't receive the confirmation number to login with my account, I was told to create a new registration with a different email and NOT link a phone number to it (just click Skip).
2. Once I was logged in, I used one of the links you guys posted to private message a CS Agent. The first time I tried this it just said 'Private Message' but there was nothing I could actually do. Then I logged in again with my fake account and after that I was able to send a message.
3. The CS agent asked me for my phone number (the one I transferred over), my name, and my 4-digit PIN. Once I gave her that, she sent me a QR code.
4. I printed the QR code (or you can send to a friend's phone or your computer) and then went into my phone Settings, searched for 'SIM', clicked 'add new SIM', and 'I want to download my eSIM'. Then I could take a picture of the QR code to activate the eSIM. There were a few more setting modifications to do like activating mobile data on that SIM. I also removed my old sim that was competing with this one, and I rebooted the phone because although I had data my texts still weren't going through. After this I was able to send texts and receive calls to my transferred number.
Thank you!!
