Lycamobile not supporting eSIM

I have Lycamobile in my old iPhone and need to transfer to new iPhone that only supports eSIM. Cannot transfer Lycamobile SIM to ESIM. Please advise.

Unfortunately, you will have to change carriers from Lycamobile to someone else that supports an eSIM. I am assuming that your new iPhone is an iPhone 14 model with no SIM card tray and only eSIM capability. You cannot convert an iPhone 14 (eSIM only) to accept a SIM card tray (also, there is no SIM card tray slot on the iPhone 14).

I have 14 pro max and I moveing in Ireland I need new eSIM cards over there

According to this link from Apple, there don't appear to be any carriers in Ireland, who support eSim --> Find wireless carriers and worldwide service providers that offer eSIM service - Apple Support


If you have an iPhone, which is eSim only, this is going to be an issue for you.
