Could I get a QR code for my esim?

AT&T doesn't email or text message eSIM QR codes. You need to get a physical card, just like a regular SIM card. You can get one from an AT&T store or order one online.

I'd like to see one of those forum posts where someone said that actually worked because this is the official response to that request a month ago: https://forums.att.com/t5/Apple/ESIM/m-p/5936181

The response from other customers here was the same in June https://forums.att.com/t5/Apple/eSIM-activation/m-p/5904460

And here's the official current answer on the website:

And here's the official current answer on the website:

How do I get and activate an eSIM for my iPhone?

For iPhone® XS, iPhone XS Max, or iPhone XR: 

1. Order your eSIM activation card.
   
   • If you’re bringing your own device or adding a second line, order online.
   • For new service, a new phone, or an upgrade, visit an AT&T store or contact us.

But if you still don't believe me, then use the "Contact Us" link above, click chat, and ask someone from AT&T.

What @QuarryRye has said is all true..  ATT charges a fee for the esim card also.

I tried switching to esim over phone and now I am locked out. The customer support told me it would just take 10min to upto 60min for it to work. Its been 12hrs and I am still stuck with no service. None of the procedures mentioned on att website works now as they deactivated my physical sim and didn't activate esim. Once again pathetic customer support by AT&T. 

Hi there @AkashRaj, we'll be happy to help get your eSIM set up. 

If you haven't already manually activated your eSIM after making the switch, try following the steps for activating your eSIM. The specific steps change depending on the type of device you have, and a QR code may be required for activation. 

You can get an eSIM QR code by visiting one of our stores, which you can find by using our store locator. Since your physical SIM card was deactivated, you'll have to go into a store to get a replacement as well. 

If you have any further questions, please let us know by creating a new thread. This current thread is old, and may be closed at any time. Thanks for reaching out to the AT&T Community Forums.

I mistakenly erased my eSim after activation and I don't know how to go about it again, need help to get it back and get my sim working 

I mistakenly removed my eSim after activation and I can't use my sim no more and the eSim was not appearing again, how can I go about this 

Please need urgent response on this issue

I'm an American, living in another country. It looks like there is no way for me to get an eSIM card with AT&T until I go back to America to get a physical eSim card. Is this really true? If so, eSIM is pointless for me and for everyone else living abroad. Get it together, AT&T.
