I’ve gotten a new phone and I want to swap over with my existing contract as my old phone is broken however I’ve been going back and forth online with agents who have been no help - when I request a new sim it never arrives despite trying to get one any advice? It’s driving me up the wall having to hotspot my new phone with my old one

Hi ​@Bron

 

Thank you for reaching out, and I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced trying to move your existing contract to your new handset. I completely understand how frustrating it must be to keep going back and forth with different agents, particularly when you're having to hotspot your new phone from the old one.

 

Unfortunately, we're unable to arrange or issue an eSIM through this platform.
