My wife’s phone started acting up the other day. It would keep losing cell service and even when it showed a signal, it still would only work on wifi.
That happened a few hours after I ported my phone number (on the same family plan) to another carrier. So naturally, I thought the issue was with the carrier.
Since I planned on porting her number out to my new carrier anyway, I didn’t want to troubleshoot.
Well, get to the new carrier and it’s still not working. Go through the whole process of resetting network settings, and then eventually deleting the esim.
New carrier, though, needs you to receive a text message before they send the esim.
Naturally, with the esim deleted, it couldn’t receive text messages.
Her issue did end up being her phone. Even after the port went through in full, it was still hit-or-miss with cell service. Worked on wifi though.
Dude.
