I activated my new eSIM and ported my number from Vodaphone last week to find the ID signal in my area is poor to non existant, dispite the coverage checker showing no issues and a supposedly strong 4G signal.  Never had an issues with Vodaphone.

    For Android:

    • Open Settings
    • Tap General Management
    • Tap Reset
    • Select Reset network settings

    For iPhone:

    • Go to Settings
    • Tap Phone
    • Tap My Number
    • Delete the old number
    • Enter the new/current number

    Then follow these steps to refresh iMessage:
