Why when I request a new eSIM does the system send me a code by text .

If I need a new eSIM then surely the system would work out that my old one is not working . Therefore I can not receive texts

Hi ​@Drivesmenuts,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

I completely understand your frustration regarding the SMS verification process when your current service is unavailable.

 

To provide context, our automated system sends a text code as a mandatory security measure. This protocol verifies the account owner's identity and protects your phone number from unauthorized transfer or fraud. Regrettably, the system does not automatically detect if your current SIM card or device is non-functional.

 

If you still require a new eSIM, we would be happy to request one for you. Please let us know how you wish to proceed so we can assist you further with your account.

 

Thanks,
