Hi Alan:

I tried that and the web site said already activated. LOL. I have to work so 
someone is going to take my phone to an AT store. I do not have a landline, 
but I atleast have my watch.

Hi Sarai,

 

I had some difficulty getting my Verizon prepaid phone service activated on my 
new iPhone 13 Mini but it wasn’t an eSIM issue. I tried using the do it 
yourself on the phone activation offered by Verizon which requires you to key 
in the IMEI and ICCID but when you have one cellular phone line that is moving 
to the device you’re activating, you can’t successfully do this using your old 
cellular phone. I got cut off in the middle of the process which if I’d been 
thinking, I should have realized this could happen. Fortunately, I had a 
landline I was able to use to get support from Verizon to finish the activation 
process. I had already gotten the physical SIM mailed to me from Verizon but it 
still had to be activated to move my service from the iPhone SE 2020 to the 13 
Mini.

 

Does AT have a website or phone app that will let you activate your 13 Pro? 
Hopefully, you won’t have to go into an AT store to get them to activate your 
phone.

 

Good luck with getting this resolved.

 

Alan Lemly

Hi Sieghard

 

That’s interesting that you scan a qr code to activate the e sim,

 

But does that then allow you to put a standard sim in to the tray and utilize 2 
services?

 

 

The e sim usage isn’t something we have available to us in NZ 

With 2 of our main providers,

 

Another one does use it but doesn’t’ advertise the fact.

I am just in the process of switching to a new provider and I will be switching 
from a physical SIM to an eSim. I asked them how this would work and they told 
me that because I was switching to a different provider they would send me a 
new physical SIM and I would first insert that and then my cell number would be 
transferred to them. After that and he said I should give it a few days I can 
then activate the eSIM which he said will be done by scanning a QR code they 
also send me. I asked him what I would have to do if I wanted to get a new 
phone down the road and was told that at that point they would once again send 
me a QR code which I would scan on the new phone and that would activate the 
eSIM.

I did not know you can transfer an eSIM to a new phone the way you described. 
Not saying it can't be done, but that is different from what I was told by my

I transferred my 8Plus to  my 13 pro max including e-sim. I had to do it via

Does AT have a website or phone app that will let you activate your 13 Pro? 
Hopefully, you won’t have to go into an AT store to get them to activate your

Good luck with getting this resolved.

Exactly, now that I am switching back to Telus here in Canada which offers eSIM 
and where I can finally also add my cellular Apple Watch for an extra $10 so it 
can work more Apple told me all I’d have to do is accept the transfer when 
transferring data. Well it worked but left when I had to hard reset the phone. 
Ugg.independently I want to switch to eSIM so that when my wife and I go back 
to the Philippines where she is from it is way easier to just buy a prepaid 
physical SIM there and stick it into the empty tray. This way my Canadian 
number still works, but I can use the local service for most things.

I could, if I wanted to also get another physical SIM here, even just one 
without data and have a separate mobile business phone number, but I won't do 
that because now that I am using a VoIP phone system at work it is not required 
as I can get any calls made to my business number on my iPhone and I can choose 
to answer them after hours or not and I can call out via the app from my VoIP 
service which to the person I am calling appears like I am calling from my 
business number.

Hi Sieghard

 

That’s interesting that you scan a qr code to activate the e sim,

 

But does that then allow you to put a standard sim in to the tray and utilize 2 
services?

 

 

The e sim usage isn’t something we have available to us in NZ 

With 2 of our main providers,

 

Another one does use it but doesn’t’ advertise the fact.

I am just in the process of switching to a new provider and I will be switching 
from a physical SIM to an eSim. I asked them how this would work and they told 
me that because I was switching to a different provider they would send me a 
new physical SIM and I would first insert that and then my cell number would be 
transferred to them. After that and he said I should give it a few days I can 
then activate the eSIM which he said will be done by scanning a QR code they 
also send me. I asked him what I would have to do if I wanted to get a new 
phone down the road and was told that at that point they would once again send 
me a QR code which I would scan on the new phone and that would activate the 
eSIM.

I did not know you can transfer an eSIM to a new phone the way you described. 
Not saying it can't be done, but that is different from what I was told by my 
carrier here in Canada..

Well… Only I would come up with this one.

I transferred my 8Plus to  my 13 pro max including e-sim. I had to do it via 
iCloud. Verified the cell service worked fine. Well the icloud restoration got 
hosed.. so I stopped the restoration. Signed out of icloud and reset phone back 
to factory default. I connected to Wifi and Bluetooth. Managed to transfer data 
from 1 phone to the other phone. Problem is no cell service on either device. 6 
AT tech support reps cannot figure it out. I have no phone at all. Ugg.

RE: new iphone 13 pro max issues

Exactly, now that I am switching back to Telus here in Canada which offers eSIM 
and where I can finally also add my cellular Apple Watch for an extra $10 so it 
can work more independently I want to switch to eSIM so that when my wife and I 
go back to the Philippines where she is from it is way easier to just buy a 
prepaid physical SIM there and stick it into the empty tray. This way my 
Canadian number still works, but I can use the local service for most things.
I could, if I wanted to also get another physical SIM here, even just one 
without data and have a separate mobile business phone number, but I won't do 
that because now that I am using a VoIP phone system at work it is not required 
as I can get any calls made to my business number on my iPhone and I can choose
