On your new phone, install the Public Mobile App and log in with your details. Once you're in click the plus button on the bottom left of your screen and tap on "Subscription and add-ons". Then scroll down and tap the button "Shop SIM card now" and tap on eSIM.  (You will have to re-purchase an eSIM for $5), then just tap on Pay now and follow the instructions on your screen. Hope that helps

@Mohman Maybe too late now but... in case you didn't yet

So, as I use a physical SIM card (as they are WAY better than e-SIM), I suspect that you can repurchase an e-SIM through your self-serve account under your profile.

I can't be certain, but perhaps try there.

Also while on self-serve, check the add-ons or other items you might purchase for an e-SIM option.

Yes I know that but are you able to direct me where to repurchase it?

Through the Public Mobile app.

You can't transfer an e-SIM @Mohman 

You have to repurchase one through public mobile to install on a new device.
