At a glance

What to check when eSIM is installed but not activating.

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
