Just thought I'd post this in case it helps inform anyone looking for a similar process. I have recently bought a new iPhone and as part of that process it prompted me to convert my physical SIM to an eSIM. I ran through that process and it failed, a...

Not strictly an O2 query, as its for Tesco Mobile in my case, but I was just wondering about this process. I had a very old (around 2012 or so) full size PAYG Tesco SIM which was working fine, I then bought a new phone and ordered a new nano SIM from...

I've put my physical nano SIM from my old phone in a new iPhone 16 with iOS 18.This is all working fine without issue. I then tried the "Convert to eSIM" in the iPhone 16 settings, but this fails with this error: So I was wondering if anyone else had...

Thanks, I'm certainly considering playing safe and not risking an eSIM until I see more positive experiences.

The SIM swap I performed was from 2 PAYG SIMs that were not related at all (my Dads and mine). My SIM was hours old at the time.I was wondering if someone slips out your physical SIM and notes your SSN, could they wipe your number with a SIM swap - a...

Thanks for the info about the number going back to a pool. Do you know what happens if someone finds your SSN though - could they push another number on top of it without your consent?I didnt get any sort of check against the destination number.
