Hi @Duse 

This is why I never recommend buying eSIM. I would purchase a physical SIM card. But not from PM itself as that will take weeks. You can reach out to a Telus store in your area to see if they have any or you can purchase one from Amazon for $5.

Moving forward, all you'll need to do is swap out. 😎

@Duse  On the new device download the app and log into your account . Go to subscription add on page and notice “ shop SIM card now” tap it and select eSIM and install that’s it your done

Hi @Duse 

no esim swap to another device.  You need to pay $5 and buy a new phone

on your new iPhone, download PM app, login , go to Subscription & Add on and click buy new sim card at the bottom of the page and select esim

sorry, you cannot swap phone with esim for free

For eSIM with new phone, you have to re-buy a new one for $5.  
Yes,  while eSIM is "cool", there are disadvantages as well.  For eSIM, if you have a new phone, or if you ever wipe your phone, you will have to re-buy a new eSIM again.   There is no such problem with Physical sim card.

To rebuy new eSIM, First, download the app on your new phone, click ⊕  or  ⧁  at the bottom left to bring up the menu and go to Subscription & Add-on page, scroll down to the bottom and click Shop SIM Card Now.  You can buy and install eSIM from there
