New Phone - Issues transferring eSim

Snowtins

Upgraded my iPhone, have been a public customer for years. Trying to go through the eSim transfer process, get to the point where I need to verify via text. MFA text never arrives on new phone or old. Calls/Text still work on my old phone (eSim active) but cannot get any Eversafe verification codes. eSim transfer process never prompts for email verification, I have reset the network settings on both devices, attempted with devices on airplane mode etc. Code never arrives.

Was reading other posts and found a solution... buy a new eSim via the app. Silly that it took a $5 purchase to resolve the issue, but w/e all is working now.

hi @Snowtins 

is your old phone still fully functional? voice call works and data works?

try click Didn't Receive code or Resend code and see if you have Send Email or Send voice message option (with send voice message, call yourself using another phone to retrieve Voicemail)

but if you still unable to get the code and hence unable to login the PM app on the new phone to purchase eSIM, you will need to ask PM agent to help.
