Has anyone else had issues receiving a new eSim?

I have been trying to request an ESim for 2 weeks and being the run around by the shockingly awful support via live chat. Apparently my account has an issue preventing a new eSim from being issued.  I have been contacting live chat trying to get something sorted and I think I am at the point now where I am very close to just losing all my patience with this company. 

The AI chatbot is utterly useless and genuinely doesn’t solve my problems at all. I haven’t been able to access my previous eSim due to having reset my phone and getting a new handset. The new handset also only takes esim so I can’t just get a replacement physical sim in store/delivered.

I’ve tried on several occasions to request a new esim and even changed the email I asked them to issue it to repeatedly and double checked that it was correct - so I know its not a issue on my end. This is also something that has been confirmed by support agents.

Has anyone else had this same issue and are you feeling fed up of having to deal with the lackluster support via livechat?
