Question

I need help. Old SIM card  not working in new phone, or other phones. I have, several times, done absolutely everything that  was recommended to resolve this issue, network resets etc, checking apple status.  So I thought I’d try and get a replacement SIM card but AI  was not helpful. Plan B - get an eSIM. Everytime I try this , it sends a code to the phone number that I can’t access. Can it be sent to my email address? Tried calling. I spoke to a lady who then transferred me over to IDMobile, but it turned out to be the vulnerable persons help line , for which I am not registered and the call was cut off.  Please can someone give me access to my phone again. This is a nightmare.

    Hi ​@Rkkbullerz,

     

    I’m really sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve had trying to get your service working again.

     

    Unfortunately, the verification code can’t be redirected to your email address. As your SIM isn’t working and you’re unable to receive the code, you’ll need to contact our Live Chat team, who can complete the necessary security checks and assist you with a replacement SIM or eSIM.
