Waiting On CSR Response, Can't Activate

Is there any way to expedite a response? I accidentally ordered a physical SIM instead of an eSIM and it won't be delivered for another 10 days; I would like to get an eSIM either added to the order or cancel the first one and re-do it so I can have my service faster, but the live service agent told me both of these were impossible for them and I had to talk to a different role. I've DMed the proper people but it's been multiple days with no response. I just want to activate my account/plan :') is there any way to escalate or another method anyone else has been successful with?

Only a customer service agent can help to switch to eSIM activation. Response times seems slower recently.  Usually should get a response from CSA within 1-2 hours.  

Where do you roughly live?  Some Toronto customers were able to receive their SiM card within 2-3 business days.  PM has been using other carriers (besides Canada post) and for several customers, it seems faster.  

Another option is to go to a corporate Telus or Koodo store to purchase a physical SIM card for $10.  If you live in a major Canadian city, Amazon has prime shipping for SIM card for $4.99. Once you get a physical SIM card, you can finish off your account activation.  If you keep the receipt, often CSA will reimburse the cost of the physical SIM card. YMMV.

if your cell will take esim...just download the Public mobile app and buy a free esim and activate that new plan. Use the link provided by @slusagm to request credit to your account for original purchase.
