Hi, I just registered with public mobile and transferred my phone number from a different carrier.  I received a notice that eSIM did not work and to contact Customer service agent.  I checked that eSIM would work with my phone prior to the number transfer.

what phone do you have?

I am pretty sure every case is different.  Some people can get the esim in the end

I had to get public mobile to send me out a new SIM card when I transferred over

you need support to confirm or send you the eSIM QR code instead 

since service is not currently working and I don't think you can open ticket using Chatbot, please just message customer support using think link

@Sup3r5tar 

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

 

if you don't see the Public Mobile esim there, check the Welcome email, there should be a QR code for the esim for you to scan and install manually)

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 by private message CS Agent using this link:
