E-SIM Brutally Error (Invalid SIM) - iPhone useless

Wts up guys.


Coming here just to share my actually issues with my iPhone 15 Pro.


I have a iPhone 15 Pro, and recently 2 weeks ago, I've updated my iPhone to IOS 18.5 and I moved to a new Internet Company, and they provide me a new E-sim, and I installed that in my iPhone (same day of the IOS Update).


The data was working at the day normally, but after like 16 hours stopped, and appeared the message "invalid SIM" I think its the internet company fault, but not, I went to the Apple Store, and they tried to repair, reseting the network settings, and restoring my iPhone to factory settings, and doesn't work.


So I send my iPhone to repair center, and they give me a new Iphone 15 Pro, I take the new iPhone on Thursday at night, its a new iPhone so came with the 17.5 IOS, and in the Friday morning I wake up and updated for the IOS 18.5 to can install the new E sim, because is a new iPhone....


Basically, Ive updated the IOS and installed the ESIM, like around 11:00, and in the same day at night like 22:00, that  stopped again, "invalid sim" message, and this issue I can do nothing, because the data settings still gray, and I can't do nothing like, can't add new sim or delete or configure the E-sim. And I lost my instagram account because I lose one email too, the 2 steps verification was in the old iPhone, the iPhone after that turn useless because my iPhone don't have Physical sim, so I can't use internet out home.


And that weard, because the same error happened twice with me. 


Now I send the new iPhone to apple again, and waiting for a new... But I think the only thing I can do for now is when I receive the new iPhone, don't uptade for while.
