Hi ​@Ianworkman 

If you bought a new handset you need to request a new replacement esim in order to get this working.

 

To get a replacement eSIM, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the iD Mobile App or my.idmobile.co.uk and click on Plan.
  2. Go to SIM & Phone Management > Request a replacement SIM or eSIM.
  3. Select Get a replacement eSIM, confirm your email, and choose Yes, I want a new eSIM.   
     

Thanks,
Hosai
