Verizon is expected to implement support for the eSIM in the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR on December 7, according to an internal employee memo that was shared with MacRumors. Apple's newest iPhones have supported eSIM functionality since the, but to use the feature, carriers also needed to add support.

At the time iOS 12.1 was released, U.S. Carriers that include Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T said that support would not be implemented until later in the year.

AT&T at the time said that there were issues with visual voicemail, while Verizon had to work out some issues that would cause performance problems when its customers activated eSIMs from other carriers. According to the document seen by MacRumors, Verizon will be implementing dual-SIM support and it will start activating eSIMs on Friday, December 7. 'Verizon will support Dual SIM activations on physical SIMs and eSIMs on select iPhones. Please visit the training portal to learn how to activate,' reads the document. Following today's release of iOS 12.1.1, several additional carriers around the world began rolling out eSIM support, in the United States, so it's no surprise that Verizon would will shortly after.

The eSIM, or digital SIM, is a non-physical SIM card slot that pairs with the physical SIM in the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR to enable dual-SIM dual-standby, a feature that lets iPhone users have two phone numbers available at once. With dual-SIM support, iPhone users are supposed to be able to swap between the two phone numbers readily, alleviating the need for a second phone or SIM swapping for work and travel. The esim server is active, call Verizon and ask them to force change the imei number listed on the number to your digital sim imei listed in the about section of your phone, say that’s all you need done, they don’t need to change anything else, if the system for some reason changes the sim number listed on your account that’s fine, the IMEI for the esim just needs to be associated with your account, give it a few minutes then scan the qr code attached, it’s the same for everyone on Verizon, and make sure you are on Wi-Fi when you do it or it’ll error out. As expected.what a s#$t show, Verizon. I have called 3 times and chatted 3 times. The calls ended with not supported, telesales call was disconnected, and totally clueless as to what an esim even was.

Aliases are just like desktop shortcuts on Windows. To be able to create symbolic links in Finder, you’ll need a third-party utility or script. We recommend the open-source app for quickly adding a Services > Make Symbolic Link option right to the Finder’s context menu. They aren’t treated as true, transparent symbolic links. Any other link for mac pro. Run the command and specify the path to the link you want to delete: rm /path/to/link How to Create Symbolic Links With a Graphical Tool The Finder can create aliases, but they won’t work quite like symbolic links.

The chats were, one disconnect, one telesales transfer where I was told it couldn't be done, and a disconnect when the person said they were creating the QR code for me. Sigh.I guess I'll give it a few days and hopefully they will get their act together. It only took me 4 hours on the phone with Verizon.

I too was transferred to telesales (twice) and eventually they disconnected and I got a text stating they'd call me back, and they never did. So I went to the store. This is what worked for me. And I asked the rep what he did on his end.

LIST=1. Call Tech Support 1-866-221-4096 and be clear that you're NOT looking to start a new line of service, but transfer your existing service from a physical SIM to the eSIM.

They should delete your physical SIM card information. They will input the IMEI number under the Digital SIM info in Settings.

This will begin activation and generate a QR code they will email you. Scan it, and it should work. Activation and connection to LTE takes about 5 minutes.

Got it working; have them get someone from Telesales on the line.I was the first that both reps had done, but once he got the esim IMEI number tied to the QR code properly it went right through. Put my physical ATT sim in the sim card slot and both are now working. It was a long process, but hopefully they have it figured out now. I wish we knew exactly what they did, because now I'm on with technical support and they still can't figure it out. doublepost=/doublepostHere is what worked for me. Per the tech support rep: Put the digital eSIM (IMEI number under Digital eSIM in settings) in place of DEVICE ID on Verizon's system and the physical SIM needs to be erased in their system. This will reactivate, and it randomly activates a sim card number.

When that's done, it generates a QR code to be emailed to the customer and then there's about a 5 minute activation wait for the phone to connect to their system. And test with Verizon rep before you get off the phone.:).
