Hi @michaelbrian - Hopefully you've received help by now, but, if not, you could use whichever IMEI that works (says compatible) and typically Visible uses the second IMEI for eSIM activation.

Great advice! Only wish I'd seen it yesterday...spent 2 hours with a rep trying to activate eSIM using only the first IMEI. Neither he nor his supervisor must have known this because neither ask me for the second IMEI.

If youโ€™re going to use eSIM, use the IMEI2 of the phone. If itโ€™s a physical SIM card, use the IMEI.
