I am stuck on Activation .: trouble downloading eSIM. Have tried scanning the QR Code in the email but it is still not working.

[Arby1]

I do have a physical SIM card… not an eSIM … wanted an eSIM but it could not be downloaded for whatever reason. PM CS Agent told me I had to order a physical Sim card… which is in my phone now.  I do not have any eSIMs (to my knowledge) as I took out the old Sim from my previous provider when I got the PM Physical SIM.

I will cross check my cellular settings with yours.  Can you please tell me if you only have one line called Primary? This is where I am getting confused with all the choices they give you

It sounds like you just have one phone line, which may mean that you have an old esim profile kicking around from your previous provider. Try to identify which sim that is and remove it. Just be careful not to delete your Public Mobile esim!

Or is it possible that at one time you purchased a travel esim to use as a secondary connection while abroad?

hi @Arby1 

if you still have the old sim card, remove it.  If your old sim is esim, disable it by toggle off Turn on this line

and for your Public Mobile esim, set as Primary and toggle on Turn on this line

@Arby1   - not sure if this helps, but  in my cellular settings for a physical sim with an iphone-

i have data on

roaming on

network selection is public mobile

cellular data network APN isp.mb.com (default)

As for primary and personal lines, I only have personal as an option. And tagging members in the community alerts/notifies them if they are mentioned in replies or posts.

After a LONG process … my phone “appears” to be working! Yeah!  I am confused as to what Primary & Personal Lines are and which one to choose??  Also … there was a spot to enter my number but when I enter and press Save … it does not work … currently the field is blank.

Can someone verify what the settings in Cellular should be? I am glad to have help of fellow Public Mobile Subscribers.  

ALSO … what is Hint: @links to members do? And where would you input that??

Thank you!

Thank you … I am getting really frustrated

@Arby1 

Majority of tickets usually answered and sorted out within matter of hours.  So, the "days to get a response" is just an extreme case, more of an exaggeration, don't get scared or discouraged.  🙂

@Arby1 

Stuck activations is a common problem. Contact a customer service agent as advised below. Just be aware that it may take hours or even days to get a response. Just keep trying if you do not hear back from them. Welcome to PM and good luck.

hi @Arby1 

the @links to member works.. we are here to help 🙂

the esim could already been installed and just not configured properly

you might first make sure the old carrier sim is removed or disabled if it is an esim 

And Go to Settings-> Cellular or sim manager and make sure the Public Mobile esim is there and enabled (or Turn on this line option is enabled) and set as Primary. Then Reset Network Settings. 

In case you don't see a Publc Mobile esim there, check the Welcome email from PM and there is a QR code to scan and install the esim

If you still need further help,  ask support agent .  You can submit  ticket by direct message:
