From eSIM back to a physical SIM.

I want to move back to using a physical SIM after moving to eSIM. I still have my old physical SIM, if that's easier to restore, than sending a new one.

Why do I want to move back? I prefer the ease of just swapping the card. I'm a fickle guy, so I flip between a couple different phones and, in my experience, the process of moving an eSIM from one to the other and back is a chore with enough steps and verification codes that it's utterly unpleasant. (Were it a one-off move, it would be fine.)

Your old pSIM is deactivated and can no longer be used. You will need to contact Visible customer service and have a new one shipped.

 

Also, I can't say for sure but you may lose service on the eSIM until the pSIM arrives and it is installed. The reason I say I am not sure is that I know for a fact that if you have a pSIM and have issues with it when you request a new pSIM the old one it deactivated, not sure if they do the same with an eSIM when requesting a pSIM.
