Public Esim
Ling Kliment
The eSim is a second line I use for work I can still go into the eSim and see it is selecting vodafone UK and it doesn't seem to stop me receiving/making calls from that esim number but the message pops up every 5/10 seconds - really annoying
OK I went and double checked again and restarted my phone - bingo. Huge thanks for such a simple solution that the geeks at PM did not think to suggest. I bet there are others tuned in to this channel who will appreciate your fix! Mike
Exactly the issue I had! After 4 months trying to get "Customer Service" to fix it, I gave up. All they did was too refer me to a "higher level" and keep asking me for my account info, when all the time that info was right in front of them on the screen. Appalling service (or lack of it). No wonder their responses always got filtered into my Junk Mail!
I tried to get "customer service" to fix the issue on the app. It is not possible to pay and install an eSim because there is a warning c=screen to say that you cannot move the eSim to another device. There is no way past the warning. For FOUR MONTHS I had exchanges. Nobody fixed the problem, They kept asking for my phone/account info, while the whole conversation exchange was right on the screen. I finally gave up and am going to Freedom. Telus should fire the entire customer service crew and redesign it's whole help agenda.
Thanks, but I can see the confirmation button by scrolling the warning screen, but only the cancel button is "live" and the pay confirmation is dead as a dodo. Really confusing and hard to imagine that Telus can construct such a garbage customer service site!
When you purchase your eSIM, you will be taken to the warning dialog box. There will be a little edge of the confirmation button, and you need to carefully tap on it. It worked on my iPhone SE 3th gen.
Since August, its been 8 months and we are April 2024? Did this ever get on the next feature release branch? This should not be a in the development backlog as customer needing this capability to move eSIM around to be nimble. Please consider the QR code or at least re-generate eSIM without going through a purchase which really doesn't equate to physical SIM card, totally a step backward.
Also, I'm hesitant to believe physical SIMs are going away anytime soon. For a long time US carriers held out against dual-SIM phones until in 2022 Verizon finally let Samsung enable it on its fleet of phones on their network. Seems Canada is following suit and North America isn't the outlier that it was vis-a-vis that capability. These companies finally realized that giving customers choice can make them happy customers while in no way harming carriers' interests.
The same goes for phone manufacturers. OnePlus stopped selling dual-SIM phones in North America with the OP9 and had to bring the feature back in the OP12 was because they realized one of the few things that made their brand stand out was dual-SIM. Having dual-SIM is why I switched from Samsung to the OP8 in 2020... and when they dropped dual-SIM and my OP8 took a dive in 2022 I was in time to get a new dual-SIM Samsung on Verizon.
While there were additional reasons OP lost ground in North America, one was the elimination of dual-SIM. They wisely brought it back this year, and with a unique SIM feature. I understand you can configure the OP21 to use one nano-SIM + one eSIM OR nano + nano... I'm unsure if this feature will get my business back, but it's why they were leading innovators for many years.
Hello. I have an iPhone 14 with a physical SIM that I use for my primary carrier, and an eSIM that I use for traveling internationally. If I install a Public Mobile eSIM, will that appear as a third SIM on my phone? The reason for my question is that I am concerned that your statement "Your eSIM will be installed and your current SIM card number will be automatically replaced with the eSIM number" will result in the permanent de-activation of my physical SIM. I would like the Public Mobile eSIM to appear as a third SIM on my phone, and I need the ability to switch between the SIMs whenever I desire. Thanks.
Only Freedom Mobile allows you to generate a new QR code for any reason (lost phone, upgraded phone) for free. I dont think they allow esim transfer but that is okay as you can generate a new one for free on self serve.
I am a current subscriber with a regular simcard. I am looking at purchasing a new phone soon, and will be continuing my services on that phone. I also want to set up a new number for my current phone for my son to use.
My question is, if I were to active esim on my new phone, and take out that sim card could I then use that physical sim card for activation for a new account/number on my old phone? would this work? Or would I just be better off buying a whole new simcard?
Since 2018, IDEMIA has provided Smart Connect Consumer, its eSIM management platform for consumer devices to SK Telecom to cater to their eSIM-equipped smartwatch end-users. With eSIM services now expanded to smartphones, IDEMIA worked closely with SK Telecom for the migration of their eSIM management platform to the public cloud, enabling SK Telecom to leverage carrier-grade solutions to achieve scalability, availability, capacity, and security for their eSIM connectivity activities.
The advent of eSIM services for smartphones in Korea is a very exciting smartphone milestone, and we have been working very closely with IDEMIA over the past year to ensure we were fully migrated and well-prepared to serve our subscribers upon launch. We have been very pleased with their stable eSIM platform and proactive support, and look forward to continuing this fruitful partnership as the eSIM connectivity market continues to grow in Korea and beyond.

Recently, a few new technologies have emerged that help to improve onboard public transport solutions and improve maintenance and availability.
One great solution, that has received less attention, is the eSIM technology finally being introduced in vehicle EDGE devices. Deal Comp supports eSIM in all its devices.
Traditionally, when changing the operator, SIM cards had to be removed from the device and replaced with new ones. Now, eSIM allows you to change the operator by using the data of the new operator in the fixed eSIM module in the device. Such remote and bulk access makes maintenance easier. There is no need to change the physical SIM card in the device, which is impossible in cases when there are many devices in use, access to in-vehicle devices is restricted and service interruptions in use are not accepted.
Flexibility and Scalability: With eSIMs, connectivity plans can be dynamically adjusted based on fluctuating demands, without the need for physical replacements. This flexibility empowers scaling operations efficiently, whether expanding to new routes or accommodating seasonal variations in passenger traffic.
No more physical SIM card: There are clear advantages when not using a physical SIM card. The eSIM is a chip soldered to the circuit board like any other component. The advantages are, that the eSIM module does need an unreliable socket connector as a regular SIM card does. Once the eSIM is soldered down onto the circuit board, it cannot be disposed of. The eSIM module cannot be removed intact from the circuit board, so it eliminates misuse and therefore is safer in this regard as well.
Enhanced Security: eSIM technology boasts robust security features, safeguarding sensitive data and communications against cyber threats. ITS solutions are fortified against unauthorized access, ensuring the data and communication integrity between the vehicle and landside systems.
Remote Management: The ability to remotely provision and manage eSIMs simplifies maintenance tasks and reduces downtime. One can remotely update connectivity profiles, troubleshoot issues, and monitor network performance, all from a remote-control interface. Multiple service provider profiles can be stored in an eSIM, allowing international data service providers to enable cost effective global roaming.
In summary, adopting eSIM in EDGE devices with cellular modems improves system and operational reliability and reduces maintenance costs over time. Deal Comp can assist in this migration with our extensive eSIM support in all our devices, as well as enabling the use of international eSIM connectivity service providers.

Instead the phone will switch network when it has lost signal from its current network and needs to autonomously find an alternative. This will happen when the phone leaves the enterprise or private network location (e.g. leaves the factory) and will switch to the public carrier network, as its only alternative, after spending some time scanning for networks.
