Activating phone

I subscribed yesterday and received an email confirming that my phone number will be transferred within hours. I signed into the app today and am supposed to be receiving a code to my phone, which never comes. My phone shows that the Public Mobile eSim is downloaded and active. My phone shows no connection the the Public Mobile network. I get codes sent to my e-mail address, but when the app says that I have an "active Public Mobile service and would like to confirm your full access", it cannot send my phone the code because the phone is not connected. I think it would help if I could sign into Eversafe, but I cannot find how to do that.

When I restarted the phone about 3:30 pm, the PM network was working. I didn't take the Telus sim out. I talked to the Telus Port team who confirmed that my Telus account was transferred to PM successfully and that the eSim on the phone was installed. Then called the PM Port team to see if they could switch the phone on. Apparently they succeeded. Kudos to the support team, but I wish the whole transfer had gone more smoothly so I wouldn't have to seek their support.

HI @davidthomasx 

and this is how to change the default sim to the esim:

HI @davidthomasx 

remove the Telus sim for now and reboot phone, your phone should pick up PM esim

only put the Telus sim back when you need it

I tried scanning the QR code with google lens but it didn't do anything.

The eSim is active. I have a Google Pixel 6a; I cannot see how to set it as Primary and Reset all Networks. My old Sim (formerly with Telus) is still in the Sim slot.

HI @davidthomasx 

so, the esim installed? or you are not sure? if not sure, scan the QR code from welcome email

after you installed the eSIM, make the eSIM active, and Primary, click Reset All networks
