My phone was working fine for 2 months on an eSIM. I tried to transfer this to a new phone however the eSIM would never activate or get service. I then tried to go back to the old phone with a new eSIM, and after multiple attempts this also failed. I then tried to do this with 2 physical SIM cards, and still no service. I have been on the live chat and phone and in to Currys stores multiple times (too many time to count now) and have been fobbed off by multiple different excuses - the issue is my phone, the issue is with the SIM card, the issue is there is maintenance in your area. The list goes on. I am now at the end of tether with this, and despite receiving no signal, am unable to leave without incurring penalty….
Question
No service after 5 eSIMs and 2 phsyical SIMs
Hi
We’re really sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. Can you please share what happened when you tried the SIMs in another compatible device?
This will help us pinpoint whether the issue is with the SIM or the phone, so we can get your service working as it should.

Hi Marquerita
They were also tried in an iPhone 16, and an iPhone 15 Pro, and while the sim and phone number were recognized on all the tried devices , it always came up saying “no service”
+26Remove and delete all SIMs and eSIMs from the device. Then perform a network reset. Connect to a working WiFi network and then install a new eSIM.
thank you but this still didn't work today
i received an e sim this morning via email ( again still cant receive texts over a week now for OTP codes ) its beyond frustrating not being able to make or accept calls….
anyway
took out the physical sim
scanned the e sim from the laptop screen
waited an hour or so for it to activate
there is no other e sims attached to the device ( the device is the one i have been using an e sim for 3 months previous )
why is id mobile not helping out a customer on this ???
+26I’m confused! Why are you mentioning calls and OTPs? The discussion here was about activating a SIM or eSIM. An active SIM or eSIM is clearly needed for making calls texting and using data. Do you get a signal at all?
Don’t be confused …I can’t receive any texts or calls on the device because I’ve had no network service since Wednesday last week ..I can’t receive OTP codes from anything or any important texts as iv had no service when the e sim wouldnt activate on the original handset…the e sim worked for 3 months on the handset and now none sims or physical sims activate!! There is no sun restrictions on the handset
