Need help switching eSIM and plan to my public mobile number

my phone broke, so I got a new iPhone well new to me iPhone I couldn’t figure out how to switch the Sims so I ended up making a new account and now have a plan for $56 including tax and it wanted me to pick a new phone number. I just want my other public mobile phone number on it so I can use my new phone. I don’t know how to do that. I haven’t been able to activate it. I’ve been going in circles and I still can’t use my phone

@Maryksword1 

did you actually check if the Public Mobile sim already there? check Sim card Manager or Settings->Cellular screen.  Enable it if it is there

But if it is not there, there is really nothing much we can do.  Please ask PM to help.  Please open ticket with them as advised above

It keeps telling me to activate it. It keeps saying activate failed and I never did get a QR code for my eSIM

@Maryksword1 

You can access your self service account via app by receiving the 2FA email code.  When you try to login to app, do  you see "didn't receive code".  Click on that link and it should give option to 2FA code.

If not possible, then send private message to customer service agent and expect 1-2 wait time for response.  Need to confirm ownership of the account, etc.
