eSIM Not Activating: Step-by-Step Check

TL;DR

• Check data roaming ON, cellular data = eSIM, airplane mode OFF first.
• Confirm APN per provider and whether start is “after arrival.”
• Then try airplane mode toggle → reboot → reset network settings.

Step 1: Basic settings

• Data roaming: Settings > Cellular > eSIM line > Data roaming ON
• Cellular data: Set data line to eSIM
• Airplane mode: OFF
