You may not be reading this forum, but the outage is actually with
Verizon, as Visible uses the Verizon network. Going back to Verizon will
get you exactly in the same position you are now.
So you don't HAVE to have SMS to re-eSIM, as they also send a copy to
email. BUT....I tried this last night (deleting and re-adding eSIM) and
it didnt fiox me. Still no SMS after eSIM refresh.
