iPhone 13 Pro Max Verizon eSim Activation Problem

[BreakingKayfabe]

Is there a possibility of having both the eSim profile and a physical SIM with the same number to be ultimately prepared for all possibilities?

Not at all possible.

Gotcha. And the iPhone can do two eSims simultaneously correct? As well as one eSim and one physical SIM?

Yup, exactly. I’m not really sure how the two esims work at once though. I’ve been using dual-sim physical/eSIM since it became available on the XS Max.

I had no issues transferring an esim from my fold 2 to my unlocked iPhone 13 pm no issues

Out of curiosity, did anyone get IMEI to activate instead of IMEI2?

Yes, but only because I ended up using a physical sim.

I was using the IMEI2 and ICCID but was not getting 5G ultra Wide band

Same issue here, I might have to try getting a physical SIM. I get 5G but not 5GUW. Chat support says I should be getting UW and my ESIM is provisioned correctly and I’m in a heavily saturated UW area but the phone only shows 5G. Speed tests are showing between 55-70 mbs.

Don’t think so, if you use the physical sim you would need to use IMEI1. eSIM would be IMEI2

Definitely go with a physical sim - theres obviously some bad flaws with provisioning with eSIM. I only noticed I had a issue because my ipad pro was picking up 5G UW when it was next to my phone which was only picking up LTE.

I’ll definitely try that this week, appreciate the insight!
