@@Pravduh they know about it but general activation that used to majorly take place at stores is being done over the phone now since everything is ordered and it takes time to adjust
Right. I m having issues helping the customers with new iPhone eSIM activation. This video tutorial is very helpful! I think I won't need to transfer the chats to Technical Support team any more. 😂
This video was way more helpful then the guy I talked to on the customer service line. He told me to just wait and the cellular plan will be on my new phone. Never did and turns out he forgot to tell me I had to physically do stuff with my iPhone.
1:43 So glad I found this! I had T-Mobile transfer from physical SIM to eSIM over 2 hours ago and I still had no connection to the mobile network. The rep did not tell me that I had to download the eSIM profile! 🙄 For the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro (with Android 13), remove the physical SIM, then go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Add a network) > Download your SIM > Next. At the "Use T-Mobile?" prompt, tap "Download". You should soon see "Download Finished". Tap "Settings". Enable the "Use SIM" switch. At "Turn on T-Mobile?" prompt, tap "Yes". And after about a minute, the exclamation point should disappear from the Cell Signal icon at the top of the screen and you should see an acquired signal. After doing this, my 5G signal strength went from -130 and 21Mbps download on the old physical SIM (type "TM9263"), to -94 and 700+Mbps download on the eSIM! 🥰
As of the latest Samsung Note 20 Ultra firmware update, the SIM Manager option is now available on unlocked devices. I successfully converted my physical T-Mobile SIM to eSIM as the primary line in addition to a secondary line via physical SIM. I'm in the US. Hope this helps.
hey good video, I'm just before becoming a new customer with t-mobile and I am curious if I will have to go through these steps or not when they send me my 12 pro max iPhone after I finish the buying process. Or will they give me a physical sim card to install manually?
First! Great vid, can you make a video detailing how to activate eSIM on Mint? I feel like many people on the r/mintmobile subreddit are asking about this
Good video Stetson. Here’s my question, is this process the exact same with Sprint? Especially since now they are T-Mobile. I’m trying to get my physical sim into a sim just like you did here. Or do I have to download all the T Mobile apps and go thru this process?
i work in customer care lol, u cant do this same exact process yet, unless u have the new iphone 13, since we give them esims instead of the physical one when we activate them. although the physical sim would still work.
So I switched from apple to samsung. I bought the phone at bestbuy which came with a tmobile sim card. We were having trouble adding my tmobile service with the new sim card. While he was on the phone with tmobile I remembered I got an email saying after you get phone tap this link to activate. I did and now I have an "esim" on my new phone which is working with my plan. Can I remove the actual sim card now and just use my esim?
So then physical sim slot actually comes unlocked from factory even if you bought the phone from T-Mobile or is the eSim the factory unlocked? For example if I travel diff country I would put that county’s sim in physical sim or eSim so that both sim are active at one time?
How do you switch from Verizon to US Mobile? Do you need too cancel with your current provider and then start with the new provider? Or can I do it all through US mobiles website and they will cancel for me?
I really need to make a video on this! Here are the basic steps: 1. Keep your current service _active_ . 2. Get your Verizon account info, including the number you need to port your number, your port-out PIN, and your billing ZIP code. I suggest you reach out to Verizon support to confirm this information. It’s important this is correct. 3. Order a SIM starter kit from US Mobile (use code “stetson” at checkout to get it for free + $20 account credit), and when it arrives follow the instructions to activate. 4. During the activation process, US Mobile will ask for your Verizon account information 5. Wait for your number to transfer over 6. When your number has transferred, you should be good to go! US Mobile will automatically cancel your Verizon account. Verizon will likely send you one final bill, and then you can enjoy the savings on US Mobile. I hope this helps!
After watching this, I gotta admit that eSIMS are excellent. However, there are the following drawbacks: 1. When mobile phone breaks, it is easy to transfer data to the new phone in case of SIM card. This is not possible in eSIM devices and users need to rely on cloud to retrieve the data such as messages, contacts and other useful informations. 2. It is problemmatic for users who do not wish to be tracked when they use eSIM. It is easy for SIM card users as they can remove the SIM cards and hence it is not possible to be tracked by network operators. 3. Users who like to use different mobile phones it is easy for them with SIM cards to do so. It is not possible with eSIM card as it is embedded in the motherboard of the mobile phone. 4. There is possibility of hacking eSIM card data from cloud hosting. 5. It is a challenge to be implemented world-wide by network operators in order to provide seamless operations. For these reasons, I personally prefer the physical SIM cards.
1- SIM only have your Voice mails and that's it. 2 for you not to be tracked you just need to put your device to airplane mode and ur done. 3 - it is actually a lot easier for users to switch phones with esim cause they do not have to open the SIM tray and there is an option to do that within your ESIM capable device. 4- everything has possibility but it can be prevented. 5 - not all people are willing to learn so that's that.
So once the Sim card has been deactivated after setting up ESIM does that mean I can take out the physical SIM card once my phone number has been activated to eSIM?
now it would be great if the TMO website WORKED and let me actually activate the ESIM instead of giving me the vague/slightly insulting "Looks like we got our wires crossed. We weren’t able to process your request at this time. Please try again later," error.
Great video... Need your help... I am located in Arkansas,USA. Existing T-Mobile prepaid customer. Is there a handset that will let me use 2 connections? ... I want to use the T-Mobile connection as eSim and another connection from a different line as physical sim. Please suggest all handsets that will allow me to do that.
Thanks a lot great info ….I have a T-Mobile SIM card with I’m thinking to make eSIM, but do you think i can put my work cricket simcard and T-Mobile eSIM and criket simcard?
Hi, does anyone know if I can reuse a prepaid eSim after a while? I activated an esim in October, and would like to use it again in February, is it possible?
After the eSIM is installed and activated, could I switch it back to the old physical SIM and deactivate the eSIM? i.e. Is it possible to jump back and forth between the T-mobile eSIM and physical SIM of the same number?
You should be able to transfer your current plan to eSIM. There may be a setting in the iPhone’s settings, or you may need to contact T-Mobile support. I’m not 100% sure at this time.
⚠️💡Has this been answered: 🤔🤯 Can I use the esim on one phone and the physical sim on another phone? And would both of them work? It somebody calls me or text, would both phones receive the call and texts at the same yime? Or would the physical sim be deactivated once the esim is activated?
??? I see this option in my tmobile account I have a N20U that I am about to Sim unlock. Would sim unlocking affect being able to use esim in the future? Thx

Hi I was seeing how do I activate an new iPhone 12 SIM card with T-Mobile I just switch phone services from boost Mobile to T-Mobile I just need help activating the phone
Transferring your phone number to eSIM lets you use your phone in dual-SIM mode. This means you can have two active SIM cards in your device at the same time. This is helpful when you travel internationally, as you can easily get an international SIM card when you arrive at your destination, or if you do a lot of traveling domestically and you want coverage on two networks at the same time.
can you use the e-sim and physical sim simultaneously? for example, if I want to use the e-sim just for imessages/call, and then the physical sim on a differnet phone just for data? thanks!
I Have been a Verizon customer for 2 year,Recently I have had issues Paying my Bills Early due to certain increase on My monthly bill's,i Have tried settling this issue with Verizon,i Have call trying I seek any Help Or explanation I can get,i feel Athey can't help me Out and they keep moving me In circle With different Customer representatives anytime I call.
So I have a 4g sim from my old phone, amd now I ordered a phone that has a 5g, but it didnt come with the 5g sim, so does T-Mobile provide a free 5g Sim? Or no? Explain, thank you.
Hi I tried everything to get it on my iPhone 12. But T-mobile’s answer is that it’s only possible for the iPhone 13. I know that the 12 is capable of doing it. But they’re saying that their network e-sim capability is only for 13. Any help or advice?
I love how I was on the T-Mobile chat trying to activate my E-SIM and then I see this video pop up in my Notification Center a few minutes later 😭. #shouldofbeenpatient
No es cierto la opción para activar no aparece en la app. Al tocar la opción activar me dice que debo llamar a servicio al cliente y eso es estresante pues nunca hay gente que conteste esas llamadas

Why don’t most T-Mobile employees know about eSIM?
@@Pravduh it’s not something we received a training for and usually have to call customer service to activate it anyways
Hey can I activate a esim via phone call, I have an existing SIM card already
@@Pravduh they know about it but general activation that used to majorly take place at stores is being done over the phone now since everything is ordered and it takes time to adjust
This sure shows that eSims are way more involved than just popping in a sim card. Damn, that is a lot of steps!
It’s automated now. I didn’t have to do all of that when I got the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Then again that was with aT&t

Does this still work? I couldn't open T-mobile app on the new phone. It said "Sorry. We are not ready for you yet." Or something to that effect.
It does not give me the option to activate esim through the app. (it simply doesn't show that option)

How do you swap the same esim when using an ios device to an android device?
What exactly is the point to transferring to E SIM? Why would that be any different?
Transferring your phone number to eSIM lets you use your phone in dual-SIM mode. This means you can have two active SIM cards in your device at the same time. This is helpful when you travel internationally, as you can easily get an international SIM card when you arrive at your destination, or if you do a lot of traveling domestically and you want coverage on two networks at the same time.
can you use the e-sim and physical sim simultaneously? for example, if I want to use the e-sim just for imessages/call, and then the physical sim on a differnet phone just for data? thanks!
