The leading solution requires owners to go down to a physical retail store and get a new SIM card.<\/p>\n<p>The issue stems from Apple\u2019s eSIM inside its recent smartphones. For those unaware, rather than a replaceable SIM card, Apple introduced new eSIM chips built into the phone, starting with the iPhone XR and XS back in 2018. And while you can still use a physical SIM, many owners opt for the easier eSIM.<\/p>\n<p>However, those eSIM chips could be killing iMessage, which obviously, isn\u2019t ideal. While the problem isn\u2019t anything new, it came to light thanks to\u00a0<em>Bloomberg<\/em>\u2018s Mark Gurman,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markgurman\/status\/1527406331174559744\">who tweeted about the issue<\/a> on his T-Mobile iPhone. Since then, we\u2019ve seen several other T-Mobile customers, and a few <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lol_elijah\/status\/1527493235421102087?s=20&amp;t=PSH_PmZpvHeGfLuP-LSSlQ\">from other carriers<\/a>\u00a0confirm they\u2019re experiencing similar problems.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with the eSIM failing and disabling iMessage or Facetime is that there\u2019s no easy solution. According to several reports, your best bet is to head down to a T-Mobile or carrier retail store and get a new physical SIM card put in the phone. This requires transferring your number to the new SIM, which is a bit frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>Some owners were able to deactivate and reactivate the eSIM, and occasionally iMessage comes back after a reboot, but that doesn\u2019t appear to fix the problem for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we\u2019re not sure if this is an iOS 15 problem or a carrier problem. But, given we\u2019re seeing it on multiple carriers, it\u2019s likely the former. And while Apple does have a few <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT209171\">support pages for dual SIM<\/a> and eSIM issues, it doesn\u2019t touch on this situation.<\/p>\n<p>So, if your iMessage and Facetime recently got deactivated for no reason and you can\u2019t send messages, head down to a retail store and get a new physical SIM card. We\u2019ll report back if we learn more.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/05\/20\/iphone-esim-bug\/\">9to5Mac<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
