Switching Network Tips on US Mobile

Sunday, June 8, 2025

Potential best practices for US Mobile subscribers switching their network (e.g., from Dark Star to Warp): upon receiving the eSim QR Code, delete or turn off your old eSims (this is scary but should be fine), delete any APN profiles, then install the new eSim. If needed, install the network specific APN profile. If the new eSim doesn’t activate after 10 minutes, contact support and after double checking some things, they’ll probably send you a new eSim QR Code. If you use iMessage, go to iMessage Settings and ensure your phone number is being used in addition to your Apple Account email. US Mobile’s network switching really great technology but eSims can be finicky.
