Hi @Chester63 

 

Have you tried a soft reboot by turning the device Off and On  ?

Going from past experience it's best not to initiate too many sim swaps as this can bung up Vodafone systems in regards to getting the sim swap through.

May I ask why your having to perform a sim swap ?

The Vodafone Social Media Team's Contact-us-for-account-specific-queries should be able to assist you.

Changed phone which was on an esim, changed that but kept saying this has already been used by another device, this was then changed to a physical sim

Vodafone UK and esim use in a phone is still very new and as such their systems maybe struggling with the change on your account.

Not an excuse I assure you but fact.

Please persevere with them to get this resolved @Chester63

Hi @Chester63 

 

If you refer to this previous thread https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/iOS/Moving-eSim-to-new-iPhone/td-p/2671657 you will see that providing the eSIM profile was not deleted before generating the QR code for the new phone you shouldn't have any problems receiving the verification code for the swap to the new phone.

 

When you speak to the Social Team, they will be the Team to get the swap completed for you.

The original esim was installed and working, did not receive verification code for new one.

I don't have Facebook so can't contact social media team.

Another 2 days on and still no service with customer services being no more than useless

Most companies now operate their customer service via social media, so it's worthwhile setting up an account for this purpose.   If that's all you're intending to do, Twitter is probably best - you don't need to use it for anything else if you don't want to.

What I want is answers. When I get in touch for an update I don't expect cut and paste answers like, it's being done, it'll be on soon, it'll be another 24 hours.

I've been around long enough to know when I'm getting fobbed offer someone who can't or won't answer questions  or simply C.B.A.

If I took my car in in and rang for updates only to keep getting told "it's being fixed".

This is one of those issues that's best investigated offline, rather than while you're hanging on the end of a phone call or chat session.   That's where the Social Media team comes in.   Give them a try.
