Ordered new iPhone 14 Pro Max through Visible. Plan was purchased, tried to download the eSim, and receive error, "Oops, new eSim order won't work on this Device. Please contact customer care."
I contacted support, gave them my IMEI's, have rebooted, reset network settings, uninstalled the app numerous times.
What is the fix for this?
If don't get a resolution soon, most likely have to initiate a return of the phone since I can't activate it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I am having the same issue and visible stated over the chat that the issue is from Apple side. As per the chat agent, the Apple is working on resolving this issue but I'm confused for how long I will have to wait to get my visible service activated. It is so frustrating that I can not talk to a person at visible over the phone and only option is to chat with them which takes hours to actually chat to a real person.

I am having the same issue and got a hold a chat agent after waiting in line for hours and he stated that the issue is from the Apple side.
Don't know how long will it take to get it resolved, but this is so frustrating....
Idk, if choosing visible over FI was a wise decision or not especially when you have to deal with this kind of issue at the first impression. LOL

The new iOS 16.0.3 has caused this problem. They are working with Apple now and there will have to be another iOS software update pushed out in order to correct this.

I'll believe it when I see it. No communication from Visible. Already charged us, and just expect us to sit and wait.

Yeah same here. I just checked and the iOS update was pushed out 8 days ago, so if this is related to that it's been going on a ridiculous amount of time for people to not have a phone.

Do you think that maybe ios 16.1 beta could fix the problem?

Visible customer service sent me an email saying that this wouldn't be fixed until the next apple update 16.1. The beta currently available is 16.1 RC, which means it is the same release that will go live for the world next week.

I am having the exact same issue. Support has stated they have escalated the issue but I have heard nothing and there is no estimated time of resolution.

Update: it’s not an Apple problem. At least not in the since that the latest update to Apple is the only solution. I went into the chat and they redownloaded my IMEI. The rep wasn’t particularly nice, but she knew exactly what she was doing. She told me they had tried to reset my IMEI once before, so this may take multiple attempts but I have service now and that was all I wanted.

I had again reached out to them via chat and they said my issue has been marked as critical priority for their network tech to look at it but have not heard anything from them yet and its been 4 hours already the last time I contacted them. I have also been charged already.

Something to try if haven’t yet, that just got me past the oops stage…..try a forced restart on the iPhone, it’s like a hard reset won’t change any settings just “cleans up” the firmware

Force restart and soft reset demonstrated in this video will help fix any minor software ...

I had this issue as well, did a force restart as suggested, and fully deleted any eSIMs. Signed out and signed back into Visible, activated a new eSIM, and it seems to be working. Phone is on iOS 16.1, and is i14PM.
