This was my logic when deciding whether to eSIM my EE or iD Mobile sim, but then I decided to eSIM EE as in the unlikely event a theft occurs I have stay connected with EE and they can't just toss it in the trash/remove itThey were a bit slow to respond on live chat but was able to get a sim swapped over to esim, can't say I've noticed any difference in performance/reliability, but then I'd not expect to.
Also presume I don't really need to bother with a sim pin on esim as I'd imagine it would be harder to extract the esim from a locked phone.
They could trigger a full reset of the phone potentially depending on the settings on it.This was my logic when deciding whether to eSIM my EE or iD Mobile sim, but then I decided to eSIM EE as in the unlikely event a theft occurs I have stay connected with EE and they can't just toss it in the trash/remove it![]()
Did that security check include an SMS code?I moved to an eSIM on iD today, process went all ok.
Messaged Live Chat, passed security, waited a minute and i had an eSIM in my email.
Does with 3. Perfectly normalDid that security check include an SMS code?
Nope.Did that security check include an SMS code?
When I've had eSIMs from Three, the website hasn't requested any codes as far as i can rememberDoes with 3. Perfectly normal
Three app > help > replace simOh - When going through CS @ Three - They OTP you.
Requesting an ESIM through the website in your account - It doesnt. But it will OTP you to sign in. (At least the 1st time you sign in for a while)
This is going to be something that we see abused insanely hardNope.
'What's your customer services PIN'
inputted it and security was done.

The pin can only be changed from within the my iD account.How easy would it be to reset your security pin? They don’t have stores so they’ll probably just ask you some trivial details and then anybody can go onto live chat and take access to your number for themselves with the pin
This is what I meant, if you reused a leaked password somewhere and that happened to be the same one you used for iD account a bad actor can now access your account, view your other details (address, dob I assume like EE), change your pin and than takeover your SIMThe pin can only be changed from within the my iD account.
If not, they pass security in other ways - it’s more of a quick and easy way instead of going about it the Three way (DOB/Letters from post code/account holders name)
Ah sorry, as per usual I missed the entire point of someone’s postThis is what I meant, if you reused a leaked password somewhere and that happened to be the same one you used for iD account a bad actor can now access your account, view your other details (address, dob I assume like EE), change your pin and than takeover your SIM
These tend to be targeted attacks you’d probably never have to worry about anyway but I love to point out the flaws, there’s some videos of people running in to steal the employee tablets in TMobile stores anyway so there’s only so much you can do to protect yourself
