My old Samsung S20 has just died. By which I mean it won’t take or hold a charge.

So I’ve bought a new A57.

How do I get the eSIM from the old phone onto this one?  I still have the eSIM email, but trying to scan it tells me that it’s already active.

I specifically want to keep the old number, as so many things use it for verification.

Again, the old phone can’t power on long enough to get anything off it.
