    Hi ​@Graham633 

     

    Thank you for getting in touch.

     

    I'm sorry to hear you're unable to make calls or send texts after switching back from an eSIM to your physical SIM.

     

    As a first step, please try restarting your phone and ensure that your physical iD Mobile SIM is selected as the default line for calls, texts, and mobile data within your device settings. If your number is not appearing in the SIM settings, try removing and reinserting the SIM card to ensure it is seated correctly.

     

    If the issue persists, it may be that the eSIM is still active on the account or that the physical SIM needs to be reactivated. Please send us a private message via our socials (Facebook or Instagram)

     

    Thank you,
