I'm trying to use a sandbox account, and am stuck on the verification stage. My primary number (my personal iPhone phone number) has been used too many time, as I've used it to set up many devices. My personal mobile number is tied to a physical SIM in my iPhone 12 Pro.
Now I'm trying to use a Freedom Mobile eSIM, and can successfully send and received texts to/from myself, other people, to/from Freedom Mobile as well.
Setting up the sandbox account (my email address with a +3 at the end of it) I choose USE A DIFFERENT NUMBER and my eSIM number is shown along with my "Freedom" description of the eSIM right below it.
The Verification Code page appears, but I never get a verification code. I click on DID NOT GET A VERIFICATION CODE? and try trigger a phone call and do not get that either.
I've reset my eSIM, I've reset my iPhone's networking, I've rebooted my phone many times, I've un/re-installed the app and TestFlight.
I'm willing to try anything here, but is it possible because my personal mobile number (which is tied to my personal Apple ID) not having any spare slots (or whatever we call them) that is why the eSIM is also being impeded, although not telling me that is why?
Can Apple increase the number of verifications I can do with my primary mobile number? So I can nevermind this eSIM?
Can Apple try text me on my eSIM, and see if there is some sort of generic Apple issue with it and not just this sandbox system?
