How to swap a Sim phone to a new e-Sim
Hi Modern phone experts,
I have an older LG v60 with a physical Nano-SIM. It doesnt seem to have the SIM Manager available and never supported e-SIMs. The instructions on T-Mobile site on how to move old SIM phone to new eSIM phone doesn't work because they explain to use Sim Manger and chose Sim->eSIM to convert SIM to eSIM. I dont even have Sim manager.
So questions are:
- Do I really need to convert SIM of old phone to eSIM in new phone, or is there a way to create a new eSIM for the new phone and just use that? Is there something I am not getting here?
- Is there anyway I can get to where I want to be, eSIM on Tmobile phone replacing LG v60 Phyiscal SIM Phone?
Bottom line is I just want to take the LG V60 out of service and replace it with the new Samsung S24 with an E-SIM. I want to use my work physical SIM for a second SIM later. I already have that and will do that last to get Dual-SIM working.
Thanks for any guidance on the Tmobile swap.
You should be able to convert to esim without going to a store. My sister in-law had the option when her Sim card went back.
As mentioned, cinverting it in the s24 would be the easiest way. You can however visit your kocal T-Mobile store and get a barcode for a new eSIM, scan it with the s24, and have them transfer your pSIM to the new eSIM.
You have to covert it when you get your s24.
