I am on Visible Trial and installed the eSIM on my device. Now I need to switch this eSIM to another device. How can this be done? Does the following work?

 

1. Disable the eSIM on device 1

2. Download Visible app on device 2, sign into the account

3. Install eSIM on device 2

4. Enable eSIM on device 2

 

Thanks.

David

AI assistant says yes but take it with a grain of salt:

 

To move your eSIM to a new phone during your trial:

  • Download the Visible app on your new phone. Sign in and check if your phone is compatible. Go to "Account" > "Devices" > "Switching to eSIM is SIMple". Select "A new phone". Follow the on-screen instructions. If prompted, name the line, choose default lines, and toggle on eSIM. Return to the Visible app and check your service by making a call, sending a text, and using data. Note: If you're an eSIM member, you can also open the Visible app, sign in, and tap "Find out how to transfer your existing phone number" after activation is complete.

If not simply signup for another trial with the new phone's IMEI and a different email address.

I don't think it is possible to transfer a trial eSIM to another phone, I could be wrong but from my understanding the trial SIM is one time use in one phone. If you want to try Visible on another phone you would need to sign up on another account and use that phone to get the free trial.
