I am wondering if anyone has managed to transfer an eSim from one phone to another with Lyca?

I spoke with customer services and she said I needed to buy another eSim for new phone and then somehow transfer old to new?   

Considering I have credit on the old esim and a deal which i bought literally 2 weeks ago this seems strange!

I dont fancy buying a new one and end up in even more of a pickle.

Anyone got any ideas?

    I have done this before.

    I "bought" an E-Sim for free (remove the topup)  and then used the website to "swap" the two E-Sims and it worked fine.

    Just make sure you register the new esim to the same lyca account (email) and then they should both appear in your online account and you can request to swap the package and numbers over between the two sims.

    @Peter999_2  Hi how did you do this? i can see an option to order a physical sim only? Ive changed phones and esim did not copy over
  • is it possible to transfer eSIMs from one iPhone to another on Lyca's network? This has always worked with EE. I understand that Lyca pickback's on EE's network. By transferring I mean that if I add a new eSIM that phone will check its surrounding iPhones and will offer to move the eSIM over.
