eSIM

[Bilu]

eSIM installation problem. Tried many times

[MikeScott1]

I have the same issue. Unable to activate as no eSIM. However I'm unable to get to section to purchase an eSIM. No Public Mobile eSIM visible in settings. My welcome email has no QR code - simply asks that I finish activation in the app and app states error activating. I have submitted this email to Customer Service - waiting for a reply to the direct message. All this and it's been 6 days - Public Mobile has taken my payment and provided no eSIM or connection.

@Bilu - Do you have your activation email "Welcome to Public Mobile" there is a QR code for eSIM.

If not please make sure that the SIM is in the cellular settings of phone.

If it is, turn it on, if not showing, please contact CS_Agent:

@Bilu 

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 support using Chatbot:

1. Open ticket via Chatbot (need access to My Account): At https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html
    Start by typing "Submit a ticket", then click "Contact Us", then "Other", then "Login" and finally click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗" 
2. If you have trouble with Chatbot or you don't have access to My Account: Private message CS Agent at: 
       https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after ticket submitted, CS Agent will reply to you there

@Bilu 

Can you go into your SIM manager and ensure your device is 'pointing' to the correct place for the e-SIM (i.e. not the physical or perhaps a 2nd e-SIM slot)

If you can't get the device to load the e-SIM, reach out to customer support for assistance.   This seems to be a routine problem around here, for some reason:

To contact a Customer Support Agent, there are 2 methods:

1. Use the ticketing system for a faster response time. Click here to create a support ticket, then type Customer Support Agent, then Contact Us,  or, 
2. Send a private message to Customer Support Agent by clicking here.  You’ll need to be logged into your Community account for the link to work.

Watch for their response in your Community private mailbox which will be indicated by a number on the small envelope icon to the left of your Community avatar.
