    Hi ​@Rahatali4,

     

    If you’re changing to a new phone, your existing eSIM won’t automatically transfer across. You’ll need to request a new eSIM for the new handset.

     

    We’d recommend setting up your new phone and requesting the replacement eSIM before resetting your old device, just to make sure everything is transferred and working correctly first.

     

    You can request a replacement eSIM through the iD Mobile app. If you have any trouble doing this, please contact our Live Chat team for assistance: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat
