Have you tried switching your pSIM physical SIM card to an eSIM?  An eSIM is stored in flash in flash memory on the main board of the device but is separate from the physical SIM pins and area of the mainboard.  If the rest of your device seems to be working properly.  The eSIM being scanned in with a barcode you can get from Telus by purchasing an eSIM to replace your pSIM.
