Unable to activate eSIM, unable to access account

As with a lot of recent posters, I attempted to take advantage of the 50% off promo, but have been unable to access service since signing up on Monday.  I was able to register a number, but failed to activate the eSIM on my device.  After 3 tries it told me to contact customer service.  The eSIM does not show up in SIM manager on my device.  Since I (allegedly) have a phone number, their EverSafe MFA won't let me access my account (it sends a text to the number which I don't have access to, I never get prompted to authenticate via email).

Thankfully I did not port a number, so I'm not as stuck as some people, but I was hoping to have this up and running for a trip coming up.

I initially tried to submit a ticket under "Activation", but even with a fully completed form the Submit button remained unclickable.  I was later able to create a ticket under the "SIM / eSIM" category, but have received no response.  I also messaged @CS_Agent, but still no luck there.

Just posting here for visibility, as it seems that there are some PM staff here with some clout.  I recognize that the promo generated unprecedented demand, but I don't think it is appropriate that they offer a service that they weren't prepared to provide, without any direct communication about timelines, next steps or redress.

Yes, no eSIM in SIM manager.  In addition to trying to add the eSIM through the app, I also tried via the QR code (after 3 times in the app).  That tells me that "can't be added because too many failed attempts to add it have been made".

hi @mbacon 

can you double check if the PM  eSIM is already showing up on your Sim Manager or Settings-> Cellular?

if yes, then you need to manually enable it and set it as Primary (please also remove old carrier sim card and disable old carrier esim)

but if it is not there you will need to ask PM support agent to help, you can submit  ticket by direct message:
