Hi @Dlp6336 

I appreciate you want to get an eSIM, but from personal experience and from what I've seen here with the number of complaints, I would just keep the SIM card and turn off the new phone, install the SIM card and reboot the phone. Honestly, $10 and the heads that come with it if it's not installed correctly are not worth it.

@Dlp6336 - I would highly go against eSIM, because it only sticks to 1 device once, if you delete it, you have to buy another one, if you get a new phone, you have to get a new one.

You go to My Account > Subscription & Add-Ons, scroll all the way down till you see 'Shop SIM card' you can pick eSIM or a physical SIM.

Usually all major phone companies still have at least 1 physical SIM slot.

You will need to purchase a new eSIM on your new phone for $5 but it is free if you just pop the old SIM out and install it in the new phone. The call is yours.

@Dlp6336 

you sure you want esim?
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 buy new eSIM for your new phone, 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
