eSIM Quick Transfer on iPhone is NOT recommended for Kolet users! This Apple feature can disable your primary line and how to restore it.

Updated yesterday

Don’t let It ghost your main line! 👻

Apple is always finding ways to make things “easier”, some features can catch you off guard. Case in point: eSIM Quick Transfer on iPhone.

While this feature is great for switching your main carrier’s SIM to an eSIM, using it while setting up Kolet’s eSIM can accidentally disable your primary line and nobody wants that.

⚠️ It is important not to use this feature if facing issues with your Kolet eSIM, in doubt please reach out to our Care Team (You will also find that help will always be given at Kolet to those who ask for it Harry)


What’s the Deal with eSIM Quick Transfer? 🤕

Apple’s eSIM Quick Transfer is designed to help you convert your physical SIM into an eSIM, handy if you’re ditching plastic for good. But here’s the twist:

💡 It’s meant for your main carrier, NOT for adding a separate travel eSIM like Kolet!

If you use this feature while setting up your Kolet eSIM, you might:

  • Accidentally disable your primary number (say goodbye to texts, calls, and carrier service).

  • Think Kolet broke your main line (we didn’t, Apple just did you dirty).

  • End up on hold with your carrier trying to get it back


Why You Should NOT Use Quick Transfer with Kolet 🚨

Imagine you’re in the middle of a trip, trying to WhatsApp your Airbnb host, and suddenly your main number disappears. That’s exactly what happens when you hit Quick Transfer instead of just activating Kolet as a secondary eSIM.

Here’s what to do instead of using Quick Transfer:

Activate Kolet eSIM separately (it won’t touch your main line).

Keep your primary SIM as-is unless your actual carrier tells you to change it.

If your main number stops working after using Quick Transfer: only your primary carrier can fix it.
