Hi guys,

 

Currently have an 02 sim only physical card in my iphone 12, but i would like to make this the e-sim.

 

Where we live, decent coverage bounces between providers, so i am hoping this will free up the sim slot for me to use an additonal provider for extra coverage.

 

I have looked around online on how to do it but i cant seem to find anywhere that explains it!

 

Thanks for any help!

You need to contact O2 to obtain an eSim pack.
All numbers are in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 
When you call, you will be asked for the reason you are calling.
Stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else
Press 5 for More Options
Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.
You can also try saying "Upgrade" or "Fraud" to be connected to an advisor.
8.00am is the best time to call if you can.

Once you have it, you need to do a sim swap from your physical sim to activate the eSim.
