# Why isn’t my SIM or eSIM working after my number transfer?

|| SIM or eSIM seems like it is not working after a number transfer? No need to worry.

### Step 1: Check if your old SIM is still in your phone

✅ Remove the old SIM card (or delete the old eSIM) for the number you transferred
✅ Restart your phone
