If you deleted the eSIM, you will need to put a new eSIM for $5 but click on the Chat button and type in Submit a Ticket. An agent might help you to get a $5 credit for accidentally deleting it.

there is a chance that the error was there because the Public Mobile esim is already installed and just not properly enabled
On Android: Check your Sim Card Manager and see if a Public Mobile eSim is there. If so, make sure it is enabled.
On iPhone: check Settings > Celluar and see if the eSIM is there. If it is, make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on
And if the Public Mobile eSIM is there, disable or delete those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim).
If the non-PM sim is physical, remove it. If the non-PM sim is an esim, disable using the SIM Manager on the phone (or set as Secondary and turn off "Turn on this line" for this non-PM esim)
Then reboot the phone and click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work. (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetooth connections, but you just need to add them back after). Also, it is possible you have to reset it multiple times for it to work.
if it still does not work, open ticket with PM support using Chatbot:
1. Open ticket via Chatbot (need access to My Account): At https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

when following the instructions above... 'scan QR Code' " unable to activate eSIM'.... you can try again , or contact your carrier for assistance.

hi @Wally29 check if the eSIM is installed on the phone. If not, scan QR code from Welcome email
if it is there , remove the other physical sim. set the PM esim to active, and enable turn on this line
