I ordered an esim a week ago, supplied the code for transferring my old number & have had emails confirming everything infusing a porting date, but have yet to receive the QR code to add the esim to my phone.
I have spent two days on the CS chat trying to get the QR code emailed to me without success. I can't log in to myo2 account to retrieve it due to O2 being "unable to send more codes" for whatever reason (CS don't know why either).
Today I spent £80 calling CS from abroad using my old network number while roaming, which I'm told will be disconnected & ported on 7th March, but got absolutely nowhere before being cut off for reaching my credit cap (£80).
So, as from tomorrow I will have no number, no new esim, am about £100 in debt & am still clueless as to how I will get my esim on my phone.
CS have been no help whatsoever, running me around in circles for days. They can't even email me my QR code so I can put it on my phone, even after supplying them with order number, dates, payments, ID proof, answering endless security questions & privacy invading cryptic questions while jumping through flaming hoops tapping on my phone.
So, my question is: how the freak can I get the esim code I paid for a week ago?
Regards.

You need to let your support staff know this then @Dave-O2 as we were refused and forced to either wait for one to arrive in the post (without a working phone as current sim would be immediately disconnected) or go in store.
I'm also interested to know who thinks sending a QR code via post (which can be intercepted) is more secure than sending to your MyO2, which you need to sign into with 2FA??????

Same here, had to ring up to try and get a new sim for one of our contracts, and are waiting for the esim pack to arrive..
Its a bit of an ass over ****** way of doing it, when every other network either emails or uses the app to download a new esim...

Can't O2 get anything right?
Seem some things are just beyond them.
This was not what was intended when eSIMs first came out.

@MI5 I'll be sure to pass your comments to the releant area.
@madasaf1sh would you like me to look at sending the eSIM, so you can download this via My O2? If so, please drop me a PM with the mobile number.

Its still happening. I've defaulted to putting my old SIM card back into my phone
