iPhone 12 mini does not display eSIM availability

How do I know if my esim is ready to use when I start my travels? iPhone 12 mini does not display esim availability. I purchased it through Apple and Jetpac. They tell me it is loaded and ready to go.

I would like to know before I travel.

With the help of tech support, I found the problem.

Under “cellular” I have “Primary” and “Personal”.

“Personal” is listed as “no number”. This is my eSIM for data when I arrive at my destination.

They say to turn on “Personal” when I arrive and everything will be fine.

Fingers crossed! 😁
