iOS 13, Beta 5. iPhone XS. AT&T Carrier using eSIM. My "front SIM" is empty (used for travel).
A couple times last week I saw the "No SIM" message pop up for a few seconds but just as fast, it went away.
Yesterday, I noticed I had no signal. The usual tricks of airplane mode did not work. I rebooted the phone and then it was fine.
...for about 10 minutes and then it lost signal again. I repeated the same steps that had worked before. I rebooted the phone and then it was fine.
...for about a minute and then it lost signal again. This time I got a pop-up message saying "SIM Failure". Then I started getting "No SIM Card Installed". I did not see any other mention of "SIM Failure" in this forum which surprised me.
Called Apple. Of course it's beta, so first step is to remove beta. Rolled back to 12.4. Now ESIM is gone. Have to go get a new SIM.
Because of the way this came on, I'm wondering if it could represent a hardware issue instead of a Beta issue. Has anyone else experienced this kind of failure?
I'm on my way to AT&T store to get a new QR Code. AT&T could not figure out how to get the code to me electronically.
