Hi ​@Pclifford 

 

Thank you for getting in touch. 

We are very sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue.

Can you please expand on what has happened? Have you activated an eSIM on your current handset?

 

Thanks,

It was a physical ID sim that came with my new phone and contract,, I am already with ID but on a rolling contract,,, and instead of setting a new sim I did it as a replacement sim,,

Let’s clarify: you wanted to purchase a new plan, but instead you ordered a replacement SIM for your existing plan?

Ah, gotcha!

The quickest way to get a replacement SIM for your new contract is to visit a local Curry’s store. If your new phone supports eSIM, you can ask a live chat agent to email you one. With an eSIM, you’ll be up and running in minutes!
