Hello

I am upgrading my IPhone - just bought an IPhone 15.

I followed your instructions and ordered an eSim. However, your system did not send me anything - no message, no email etc with the necessary QR code to install the eSim on my new phone.

I phoned your customer helpline on Tuesday evening and the representative looked at my situation and promised that I would get an email with the QR within 24 hours. Nothing has arrived.

eSIM - How to activate  

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Annoyingly, I called O2 to get the sim swapped to eSim, they've deactivated my plastic SIM and as a result I have no QR code emailed, AND can't even get past MFA to get into my MF Account...

Yip. O2 and esims are a flop ... Back to the O2 Shop tomorrow for a plastic SIM 👍🏼 @MrPiss 

And take photo id with you.

I'm at a loss why people think esims are the way forward these days

 

Not a chance would I entertain one, certainly not with O2

eSIMs are OK for a secondary account if your phone only has one SIM slot but not for the main account with O2's implementation.

And always have another number registered in my O2!

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

I haven't got one and after reading all the issues they cause, I would never have one.

I'll stick to plastic thanks. 🙄

What issues?

Most of what I've read about them are very positive.

Clearly you've not been reading the experience of trying to upgrade phone or move to an e-sim on this site, @T-squared - this should give you a taster:
