Finish Setting Up Cellular (eSIM)

Well, I followed the suggestion of another poster on this thread and clicked the link to set it up, I don't have any account with Cricket so was fairly sure they couldn't charge me for anything.

I should mention I am in the UK, after clicking it appeared in the Settings - Mobile Service section as an e sim and stayed on 'Activating', at this point I couldn't see anything on the e sim details to delete it.

I waited a short while and after a while it then gave me a system message saying activation failed.

I then clicked on the e sim again and this time an option in red was at the bottom to delete sim.

So I deleted it and so far no more system requests so hopefully that's it now.

Sharing this info in case it helps anyone else.

I was getting really fed up with this so I decided to allow it to continue the setup with the mindset if successful I would worry about it after

Anyway after accepting it a esim number was installed I then got a failed set up message to contact provider

I then went into network settings and deleted the esim

No further issues and no pop up reminders to install ( 5 days in)

Same issue, annoying recurring alerts to activate Cricket eSim (Italy). Followed two posts here: tried to complete the activation process, waited about an hour the ‘failed to activate’ message, then the red ‘remove esim’ option became visible. Deleted the eSim

If one or more of the following 6 options are true then you can't choose None as a payment method then the Billing information is needed . The "None" option will not appear...

1. If you have an unpaid balance or payment due
2. If you have a subscription that automatically renews
3. If you're using the iTunes Store or App Store for the first time
4. If you are not in the country or region you’re creating an Apple ID for
5. If you changed your country or region
6. If you're a part of Family Sharing

Based on your country of residence and country you have selected under your Apple ID --> Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID - Apple ...

Have you a Debit/Credit card that is issued to you that is valid internationally and is from the same Country / Region as your Apple ID.

Know it here --> If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes ...

Check the following

1. The payment method that you are adding is of the same country as that of App Store Country on your iPhone

If you can't download, make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you need to update your payment method or add a new one. If you already verified that a payment method is available in your country or region and you're still having trouble, learn more.

Another to add to this as started getting this last night from around 5pm, just so annoying constantly getting prompted.

UK user so was totally unaware of who Cricket were until a Google search brought me here and Reddit.

Also having this rather frustrating issue in the UK.

Strikes me this company Cricket can't have very good checks in place if they are somehow using incorrect info to supply their service, I would probably be wary of using them if this is a demonstration of how careful they are with people's information.

Same problem here in Germany, but with Metro by T-mobile, wo wants to set up an esim.

That problem seems to be allover and no prober solution.

Don't really want to install that esim, to get rid of the problem

What I can infer from the screenshot posted this seems to be a genuine legitimate alert on your device.

The screenshot is not referring to Cricket anywhere.

Yes it does

Following up if there was a resolution? I started getting the same notification today.

Can I also add to this post

I am UK based never taken phone abroad, UK provider now I keep getting the same alert under settings

If I decline it comes back next day to set up esim

I’m also getting this in New Zealand. Cricket don’t even operate here!

Also UK based and same thing happening since yesterday, notification every few hours or so
